A KALTBLUT exclusive. Photography and Creative Direction by Yolanda Ng. The model is Rafael Vedra. Makeup and Hair by Katherina Ivkina. The stylist Assistant is Laure Faye. ‘The Shepherd’s Child’ focuses on the blurred lines of gender and coming of age. It is based on a modern interpretation of the biblical story of the prodigal child. The child is about to leave their father’s home to explore their own journey in life. Discovering purpose, self-expression and as well as gender/sexuality is all part of this child’s growth into better understanding themselves and they do that through his expression of style. The shepherd’s child is portrayed by the corps de ballet dancer of the Bayerische Staatsballett, Rafael Vedra.
