These six fashion films and music videos have been specifically selected for their strong emphasis on how manhood tends to be perceived. They outline the struggle in defining one’s identity and place in life, showing a different facade to generally accepted conventions.
Luca Finotti’s #WeBelieveInThePowerOfLove stands as a clear message of love, in which differences bring us together rather than set us apart. Territory by The Blaze as well as Vamp – Tofel Santana by Leo Adef challenge and put into question the traditional notion of masculinity.
Both MBC Vanguards & Visionaries A / W by Sergi Castellà and Life After Life by Cyprien Clément-Delmas dive into our relationship with what we have lost and what awaits us. And lastly John Merizalde shares a social commentary on an era of political unrest and its consequences with 11x HUMAN for Akoo.
