Barney's -- So Much More than a Big, Purple Dinosaur

Do you all know about Barney's spring campaign  “Brothers, Sisters, Sons & Daughters,” featuring 17 transgender individuals and photographed by fashion-photographer icon Bruce Weber?

You can watch the five-minute video below.


There's also a 36-minute film about the project, which can't be embedded but can be watched at Brothers, Sisters, Sons & Daughters: The Film.
 
Finally, you can read about the models starting here.

And, yes, Barney's is the store that was caught racially profiling, which begs the question: if any of the black models were to shop there, would they be frisked on the way out?
