It has long been argued that as long as you are going with the right people, it doesn’t matter where you go. This is the spirit encapsulated in the collaborative editorial between photographer Yoong Jang and stylist Lyla Cheng for their latest photo series entitled “Around the World”. The photoseries collages polaroids, film shots and tickets of the models as they explore new horizons together. Lyla describes the concept behind the editorial as one which allows the youth to look “beyond genders and nationalities” as they travel and this is reflected in the shots that embrace gender fluid styling with many of the male models sporting feminine pieces. According to Lyla “gender fluidity is a norm for our generation now, boys don’t resist womenswear that much, and it’s common for girls to pick up menswear.” If that’s anything to go by, then the modern traveller is a free traveller.
