Joseph Ford wanted to explore the challenges of teen life. Paperboy is a metaphor for difference: how do you fit in when you’re made of card?

Photographer Joseph Ford introduces us to paperboy, Sid Hanson-Kahn, and his friends Woody Cook, Lucas Bonacorso and Jack Cox in this Schön! online editorial. Fashion by Laura Walters sees them in an array of outfits, selected from brands the likes of E. Tautz, John Lawrence Sullivan, Xander Zhou, Napa by Martine Rose, Daniel Fletcher and Astrid Andersen.
