A KALTBLUT exclusive photo project about gender inclusivity in Paris! The models are Elisa Razafimahatratra, Quinn Birkholz, Ynness Malak, Killian Duarte Brandao and Etienne Otien Lebien. “Genderless Paris” by Inés Prelovšek is a photography project that challenges the gender norms entrenched in the fashion industry, particularly within the realm of lingerie. Make up by Déborah Durand Lambin and Marla Sigiran.
In collaboration with the French lingerie label, Avant Minuit, founded by Adélaïde Brient, Ines showcases a collection of lace lingerie designed to embrace and celebrate everybody, regardless of gender identity.
While mainstream lingerie caters to conventional gender binaries, this project seeks to provide an inclusive space for trans women, non-binary individuals, and those who identify as gender non-conforming.
Inés and Adé deliberately chose to photograph during Paris Fashion Week, using this prominent platform to express poignant critiques on gender neutrality, body positivity, and sustainability within the fashion industry.
All the models featured in this project identify as queer, further underscoring the commitment to inclusivity and representation in challenging traditional norms of the industry.

About Brand Avant Minuit / Gender neutral Lingerie
Avant Minuit focuses on lace lingerie for transsexuals. The founder’s commitment to this community, which is often overlooked by established lingerie brands, recently prompted her to develop tucking underwear (a technique designed to hide the shape of the penis so that it cannot be viewed through clothing).
Inés got inspired by the label and named her Paris Series “Genderless Paris”.
