Hugh Laughton-Scott undergoes a dramatic transformation in his latest work. The English model graces the pages of GQ Portugal, embracing a flair for the theatrical.
Wojciech Christopher Nowak handles both the striking styling and the creative direction. Nowak crafts a fierce narrative that melds the avant-garde with historical styles and punk spirit.
Photographer Tianzheng Yun captures the GQ Portugal story entitled “Metamorphosis.” Before Yun’s lens, Hugh poses against exposed brick walls and seamless backdrops.
Hugh wears standout pieces from a diverse array of designer brands. Nowak curates a grand wardrobe featuring Maison Margiela, Thom Browne, and Isabel Marant, among others, showcasing the variety in today’s styles.
The eclectic fashions reference everything from 1960s mod in a pastel Thom Browne short suit to Elizabethan elegance with a ruffled collar, which complements modern tailoring by Giorgio Armani and Gucci.
Hair stylist Kazuto Shimomura and makeup artist Hiro Yonemoto skillfully morph Hugh’s look to fit each ensemble. Hugh makes bold fashion statements, donning everything from a bleached bowl cut and spiky hair to smoky eyes and blushed cheekbones.
Each look reflects fashion’s transformative power, proving that change is the only constant.
