Models Felix Gesnouin and Michelle Laff pose in POP Magazine, exploring gender identity in ‘Astradyne’, a beauty story photographed by Elizaveta Porodina. Victoire Simonney styles the shoot with makeup artist David Koppelaar using Valentino Beauty.

Beware of female psychoanalysts who become photographers. Porodina is blessed with such prodigious talent, that I wish she could be bottled as a creativity spray. Imagine Stella McCartney and Porodina cooking up an ad campaign around mushrooms in Stella’s fashion collections. It would be glorious. ~ Anne
