Continuing our mission to break down the stale myths that birth ignorance, assimilation, and pain, we are launching our second monthly theme: Sex and Gender. We begin with a fashion film, starring three of our muses - student Brandon Acton-Bond, artist Andrew Yang, and model/musician Tatiana Pajkovic - each of whom we consider to be activists by just being so comfortably and unapologetically themselves. The video deconstructs the typical fashion shoot by having our subjects style themselves, with both genders using the same core four pieces -- a Dries Van Noten houndstooth suit, an Emerson plaid skirt, a baggy Raif Adelberg cardigan, and oversized A Détacher jeans-- while we gave them a platform to discuss their personal experiences with sex and sexuality. Neither their thoughts nor threads are dictated by an external source: not corporations, not public opinion, not even us. The sole prop on the set was a wall of mirrors, used to symbolize the importance of being fearlessly aware and to serve as a means to reveal the blurriness inherent within the complexities of being human. The purpose of our Sex & Gender month isn't to promote one attitude over another, but to learn more by exposing more about this incendiary topic. When we say #sexualhealing, that, in a nutshell, is what we mean.
