Mikhail Dorfman stars in the "Paper Boy" editorial exclusive for web publication F****** Young! Online. The Adam Models face is captured by photographer Sean P. Watters' lens while posing with a series of folded paper volumes.

This conceptual fashion story pairs large pieces of tattered paper with [mesh menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louther-x-carhartt-wip-fw25) and collared shirt looks that are hand-picked by wardrobe stylist Michael Stallings.

Stallings dresses model Mikhael in pieces from Martin Keehn, [Levi’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levis-x-kiko-kostadinov), and Salvatore Ferragamo among other labels for F****** Young! Online's latest editorial exclusive. Sean P. Watters' photoshoot becomes an art project that is enhanced with a range of [sculptural elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take), made using tattered, crumpled and folded paper. These paper-made objects appear ambiguous and begin to take on the form of clothing and architecture.
