The FIFTY8 Magazine Issue 1 editorial is appropriately titled 'Epicene,' which means "belonging to, or partaking of the characteristics of, both sexes," as defined on Dictionary.com. Although full of dresses and skirts, there is an androgynous quality that is hard not to notice. Not only are the cuts very straight and narrow, model Tanya Chubko sports a rather tomboyish beauty look complete with short hair and a natural face.
A collaborative photoshoot between photographers Remi Kozdra and Kasia Baczulis, the FIFTY8 Magazine Issue 1 editorial was shot in studio against a dark grey backdrop that has been enhanced with vibrant splatters of color courtesy of editorial designer Atelier Olschinsky, giving the images an artistic appeal. The looks featured throughout were put together by stylist Magda Paluba.
