Fashion meets politics in this French Fries editorial. Paweł Barański powerful shots report women's struggle against the declaration of a near-total abortion ban in Poland. A zealous depiction that grants model Iza Michalska to embody a modern crusader of female empowerment, attired by stylist Aga Łoza and assistant Natalia Ratyńska. We can feel the dramatic allure carefully recreated by set designer Katarzyna Jańczuk and assistant Kuba Kaleta. Bartek Osowczyk brings makeup onto a higher level of symbolism, while graphic designer Małgorzata Pawlak reinforces the message with iconographies that are a cry for freedom. A blood-red lightning bolt for girls who wanna have rights!
