The obsession with youth has been a reality throughout history. In the beginning, it symbolised a worldwide fascination with strength and beauty, rooted in, let’s say, an aesthetic dimension. Today, it is far more than that: this source of awed admiration has become a wellspring of influence. Young people are now a minority in society, yet paradoxically their power is increasing. Probably because they embody the future in a completely new way. And they fully intend to prevent others stealing it from them. Free of the torments of the past, and the upheavals of both history and tradition, young people have their sights firmly set on the future, acutely aware of the battles that lie ahead.

Thankfully there are some exceptions. Sonny Hall is one. The British model’s mother died of an overdose when he was four years old and he grew up in care. At one point he was addicted to alcohol and drugs himself but has been clean for over two years now. His rebirth is all the more spectacular as it took place on Instagram, where his dandy style quickly acquired a fanbase — he now has 131,000 followers. Naturally he became a model and, at 21,…
