Photographer Ethan James Green, who is known for his striking black-and-white style, shot a group of close friends for Alexander McQueen. Wearing the spring 2020 collection, the models are Greenโ€™s long-term collaborators Dara, Torraine Futurum, and Marcs Goldberg. All three are transgender, and all three have made waves in the industry in their own right.

Green first became recognized for a monograph, Young New York, that intentionally highlighted a diverse cast of queer models, artists, designers, and nightlife personalities. With this latest portrait series, Green captured his friends in striking positions that give life to McQueenโ€™s flowy lace skirts, dramatic sleeves, tattered pieces of fabric, and structured blazers. Most of the images are in his signature black-and-white, with a few in saturated color. Keep scrolling to see all the photos.
