Mission Statement Magazine: 002 Cover Story

ZMM Agency was proud to of produce Cover Story 5/6 for the second print issue of Mission Statement Magazine. Centred around the thematic exploration of 'Home' ZMM spotlighted members of London's thriving Ballroom scene, a community that so often provides Home, in its truest meaning, to those who have not been awarded its traditional description. 'Chosen Family' is a cover feature celebrating ten Ballroom figures and capturing the fierce and vibrant community found in London Ballroom. Playfully shot against an opulent draped set, styled collaboratively with talent, and creatively collaged to make room for all, the entire production drew on elements of what makes Ballroom so special. A written feature by Trey Trey and solo interviews with talent, each at different stages of their Ballroom journey, give deep insight into Ballroom culture past and present. From it's historical conception in Harlem New York, to the continued solace it provides for Queer black and brown people worldwide, Ballroom culture continues to represent HOME for so many.
