QUESTIONING GENDER ASSUMPTIONS WITH ALICE ROSATI

Featuring trans models Annely Bouma and Dustin Muchuvitz, the opening editorial of our latest issue explores and tests the limits of normative sexualities: nipples, body hair and bulges are all fair game for display. Bouma and Muchuvitz, styled in bondage-inspired clothing full of unexpected cut-outs,  force the reader to question their own assumptions about gender identity and presentation. Why do we so often feel the need to immediately label someone’s gender or sexuality? Why can’t we let them just be?
