Photographic Editorial: "Femme" featuring Adrian Elim

Femme:

/fem/

n.) A person (regardless of gender assigned at birth) who actively embodies a femme identity or gender presentation.

Non-Binary gender identity aligned with “femininity”.

adj.) intentionally, cleverly “feminine”. Feminine in a non-traditional way- or referring to one who embodies a conscious femininity.

Whatever that means… We prefer fabulous, fierce, fearless and FREE.
