The latest Manuscript Magazine issue features Troye Sivan, a singer, actor and internet celebrity who is dressed in a militant ensemble by Thom Browne. Gracing the publication's Spring/Summer 2015 issue, the model pulls off a conceptual outfit and accessories that include a transparent face mask with faux blush stickers.

Inspired by Thom Browne's Spring/Summer 2015 runway show, this Manuscript Magazine issue celebrates the return of uniformed styling. While [militant menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taylor-stitch-army-suede-bomber-jacket) has been around for years, Thom's vision of it is more playful, sculptural and vibrant.

Experimenting with organic shapes and pastel hues, the designer's creations resemble [wearable art pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take). Photograoher Liz Ham captures Troye Sivan as he wears one of the designer's expressive runway looks that is hand-picked by stylist Jolyon Mason.
