Model David Varhegyi is styled by Noa Zarfati in an exploration of the “female aspect residing within each person, unrelated to its gender and sexual orientation.”

The images highlight the feminine delicacy and elegance present in men in an effort to challenge men to fully integrate the feminine into their identities and self expressions.

The shoot was produced in London with an awareness of sustainability principles. Stylist Noa Zarfati chose clothing and accessory items fabricated by local designers involved in sustainability practices or by choosing existing archives pieces.
