Dear Shaded Viewers,
17 transgender individuals were shot by Bruce Weber for the new Barneys campaign "Brothers, Sisters, Sons & Daughters" in order to raise awareness and funds for the trans community.
“I hope that my photographs and films of these 17 new friends, who are transgender men and women, convey the respect I have for them and how I stand in awe of their courage to face the world,” said Bruce Weber about the campaign.
Vanity Fair contributor, Patricia Bosworth interviewed each model in order to tell their story. Issues from bullying, discrimination,abandonment to empowerment, self-confidence and unconditional love are all part of the exchange.
Barneys New York will donate 10% of all sales from its 11 flagship stores nationwide and Barneys.com on February 11th to be split between The Center and NCTE.
Later,
Diane
