A KALTBLUT exclusive. Photography by Filipp Yakushin. The models are Marco Ferraiuolo and Oleksii Kolbei. Creative direction and styling by Nino Sablic. Makeup and hair by Bloodsugar. “This editorial is a dark, romantic reimagining of classical elegance born from the historical echoes of Vienna and re-stitched into a love letter to radical self-expression. Drawing inspiration from late 18th- and early 19th-century court wear, the styling merges aristocratic grandeur with modern queer aesthetics like club-kid culture, gender-fluid dandyism and ballroom culture.
Rooted in the understanding that modern queer culture was built on the foundations of rebellion and full expression of self, each look functions as a deliberate, theatrical presentation of identity, reclamation, and
survival. It serves as a visual exploration of queer identity at a time when fearless visibility is needed most, acting as a direct tribute to the historic lovers and trailblazers who walked these Viennese streets before us
to make it the haven it has become today.”
