Grimes and Ryan McGinley in the shootings for Fashion Italia and L’Uomo
What if two magazines, a female and a male, choose to combine their voices for a conversation on gender in fashion and society?
Fashion Italia and L’Uomo this month are on newsstands together with interviews, stories, complimentary photo shoots. In a game of mirrors between male and female, straddling the pages of the two newspapers.
The work of mirrors is a game of mirrors and refractions Ryan McGinley: which for Fashion Italia has chosen to photograph Grimes, the most contemporary of pop stars; and for L’Uomo he chose the path of self-portrait. In the background, one California Gothic and a common circular element that frames, and somehow surrounds, the two protagonists. Almost to shelter them: as indeed the spirit of the time suggests.
Here are some shots taken from the two shoots.
