Fashion publication Fucking Young! recently shared a new editorial project, entitled 'Men at Work' due to its depiction of models wearing retro business apparel, however the styles are paired with accessories that would traditionally be considered feminine. These accessories include classic corsets that cinch in the waists of models for a dramatic hourglass look, and high-heeled shoes that are paired with long flowing skirts.
With this contrast, Fucking Young! promotes a progressive narrative, that challenges gender norms in fashion, as well as in the workforce. To create the shoot, the publication employed the talents of photographer Céline Bischoff, as well as models "Florentin at M Management, Jules at Marilyn, and Jimmy at Rockmen." Arthur Mayadoux was at the shoot to style the models, and used pieces from "Thom Browne, Arthur Avellano, Lanvin, Diesel Black Gold, Versace, Ernest W Baker, Juun J, Sadak, Comme des Garçons, Maison Cadolle, Sean Suen, Hackett, Faith Connexion, and more."
