Barneys New York recently launched their Spring 2014 catalog with a campaign called “Brothers, Sisters, Sons & Daughters.” Photographed by Bruce Weber, this nontraditional campaign will feature the portfolios and stories of each of their models along with accompanying videos. The interviews cover ground related to bullying, self-confidence, love, discrimination, and empowerment through the diverse experiences of these transgender models.
Seventeen transgender models are participating in the campaign, including Arin Andrews, Edie Charles, Valentijn de Hingh, Ashley de la Cruz, Sawyer Devuyst, Peche Di, Dezjorn Gauthier, Trevon Haynes, Katie Hill, Eve Lindley, Niki M’nray, Ryley Pogensky, Ines Rau, May Simon, Ahya Taylor, Maxie Neu, and Gisele Xtravaganza.
The first released video features Arin Andrews and Katie Hill. Watch the video below and read their entire story (and that of the other models) on The Window.
