This shoot by Tony Duran is yet another controversial piece for the celebrity photographer's portfolio. With racy prints featuring Beyonce, Lindsay Lohan and Brad Pitt, this shoot should be a breeze for Tony Duran.
The gender-bending spread features male models Eric Anderson and Erik Sims dressed in everything from raccoon-wear to women's wear. The result is a truly artistic spread that Tony Duran can be proud of.
Implications - As North American society moves towards a much more egalitarian mode of social mentality, the fashion industry is actively demonstrating this shift through androgynous photo shoots and fashion shows. This conveys the fashion industry itself as progressive and forward thinking. Corporations looking to convey similar ideals can capitalize on this androgynous movement and incorporate gender-bending design elements into their products and services.
