“A self-portrait fashion shoot about my queer liberation after coming out.” A KALTBLUT exclusive. The model is Philip Yakushin. Photography by Philip Yakushin and Nino Sablic. Brands used are Stefano Pilati, Swarovski, Namilia, Calzedonia, Zara, Intimissimi, H&M, and M.A.C.
Philip Yakushin: “I am an artist (27), working mainly in photography and sculpture; I am queer and moved from Russia to Cologne, Germany, in 2022, and then to Austria. This photo shoot is a liberation of my queerness, which I couldn’t allow myself to embrace for years. Now that I live in Vienna and can be my true self, I find it easier to be as queer as I want to be, which is incredibly liberating.”
