Nikko Ortiz costume/props (contents & article)

 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!

Final article

  Aiden & Ashley uncover their path towards self-love and self-acceptance. Openly discussing their hardships, realizations, and overall journeys with self.      Self-love and self-acceptance look completely and utterly different to each and every person you encounter. "We all struggle with accepting or loving some part of ourselves", Ashley says. For Ashley, it was always the inability of accepting and embracing the physical vessel she had been brought into this world with. "I always hated social media and the Ideas it enabled into my mind as a 10-year-old." The unrealistic ways in which media portrays women tremendously affected the way Ashley started perceiving herself. She thought that in order to fit society's definition of "pretty", she must have had to carry each trait she noticed the women on TV had, a tiny waist, hairless bodies, no stretch marks, or pimples, and so on.
