Emini consists of a formula that is connected to the idea of toxic masculinity and how it has affected him personally within his teenage years to adulthood. The ideaof sex plays a big part in his formulae as he tries to express this though his styling in fashion and sets as a creative. He uses tighter, more revealing clothes on male figures to break the stigma that guys cant dress feminine and still be their own definition of a man. He edits his images in ways that distort and tangle his figures to communicate his idea of masculinity. Ayden always brings his background in art into whatever he creates, especially abstraction and uses it to aid him express himself through his fashion styling. The idea behind the booklet EMINI is to show how Ayden views male bodies tangled and distort through the hero photography to aid this theme, he adds powerful illustrations throughout to connect back to masculinity and the bare bodies.
