Culture Magazine, which I read once in a while, seems to enjoy exceling in [naughtiness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks) and this time around, as usual, they managed to take it up a notch with their 'Boy Wonder' 2008 yearbook.

The model, whose name is Michael Whittaker, posed for Sydney-based photographer James Demitri donning a mask, [exotic leather pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat) and little else. The theme reminds us a bit about the widespread infatuation with [superheroes in the world of fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superman-collection) and the film industry last year.

Culture is a bit late to the party but some of us don’t seem to mind.
