Nikko is one of my male models. Since I want my magazine to display acceptance and openness, gender norms will be completely obliterated in this magazine. Therefore, I asked him if he would feel comfortable in "women's clothing", and he said he loved the idea. We came up with two outfits for him. The first outfit consists of a pink beanie with a smilie face on it, a white graphic t-shirt along with a pink button up shirt to match the beanie, and a black skirt. The second outfit consisted of a white bucket hat, a jean jacket as the top, and some grey baggy pants. We thought it'd be a good idea to take these photos in a public setting rather than in a room to convey the idea that he is prideful in his self-expression and embraces his authenticity, not just privately but publicly as well. As for props, he wanted to wear many necklaces and I wanted him to hold his skateboard. It has a nice design and I though it'd bring some spice into the mix!
