A Blowout Trip Through Spring/Summer 2018

Miscreants, outsiders, deviants: drawing on the incendiary spirit of those who exist just outside of society’s reaches, Gareth McConnell and Agata Belcen take us on a hallucinatory trip through the Spring/Summer collections for AnOther Magazine S/S18. Taking its name from Jean Genet’s intoxicating queer novel of the 1940s, Our Lady of the Flowers, the photo story is a tribute to the strange pleasure of living life on the margins.
