a boy first flowers are usually on their funeral. that’s the idea that embraces this editorial. “flowers for my funeral” is a visual story about growing older, expressing emotions and for claiming that everyone should be celebrated, even for oneself.

Since ancient times, people have sought to
transcend the ordinary body through dance and adornment.
The act of covering the face and wearing flowers or
feathers seems to carry a folkloric sense of prayer and protection,
as well as a ritualistic quality that allows one to
transform into another kind of being.
I was deeply drawn to the physical expression and
sculptural beauty she has cultivated as a performer,
as well as to her own striking presence. Through this work,
I explored how far these qualities could be translated into the
medium of photography, and how they might coexist
with flowers ̶ collective forms of natural beauty.
The flowers are not placed merely as decoration, but as quiet armor for
her body, carrying with them the memory of plants themselves.

This editorial, titled “Lyceum Club Femenino,
” takes its name from the association of the
same name that emerged in the city of Madrid in the 1930s.
This cultural association aimed to promote education, culture, and the active
participation of women in the public sphere as well as in political and educational
institutions. The Lyceum was not merely an association but an entire movement,
contemporary with Las Sinsombrero and with a series of artistic collectives determined to
change the social paradigm of the time.
For this reason, this editorial does not seek solely to replicate the stylistic elements typical
of that era, but rather to understand and approach the historical and artistic moment in
which this space emerged. It was developed by Spanish women writers and painters from
1926 to 1939. Furthermore, it seeks to pay tribute to the way these women chose to occupy
space and shape their public image at a time when society expected them to be “angels
of the home.
” In the face of this imposition, they chose instead to make themselves visible
and claim their place in the public sphere.
Keywords: 1930s, Madrid, women’s emancipation, space and dependence.
Teodora Nešković is a Belgrade based painter. She graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Arts in Belgrade, and is currently a PhD candidate at the same faculty.
Irina Rusinovich is editorial lead and art director of Purplehaze Magazine.

The Distance Between Us features actors Ema Sofia and Hugo Nicolau, shot in Ericeira, Ema’s hometown, which informs the narrative.
The story explores two forms of separation: the distance between who we’ve become and where we come from, and the ongoing divide between male and female roles in society.
Ema moves through male-dominated spaces, such as the church and fishing harbour, where her relationship with Hugo unfolds as a subtle power dynamic. There’s a sense of closeness yet also distance, a subtle push and pull that leads Ema towards independence.
I have included the link to the accompanying fashion film in the attached credits document. It can also be viewed here – drive.google.com/drive/folders/1exUv51C3w-mOMv14Bdkd5hCfG4AmMT7l?usp=drive_link
The film is optional to include.
For selected looks, two images are provided. These images are intended to work as a pair as part of the concept, however you are welcome to select a single image per look if preferred.
Please note that the styling focuses primarily on Ema as the central character; Hugo’s look remains mostly consistent throughout.
