"Collaboration with Artists and Designers"
Collaboration is a cornerstone of 40 Magazine's identity. The publication regularly partners with emerging and established artists, fashion designers, and stylists to create unique visual stories. These collaborations often blur the lines between erotic photography and other artistic disciplines. This creative synergy results in fresh and innovative content that surprises and delights readers. By involving diverse creative talents, 40 Magazine ensures its issues remain dynamic and reflect contemporary trends in both art and fashion. The magazine has worked with various artists and designers over the years, each bringing their own unique perspectives and styles to the table. For example, in issue 25, photographer Michele Serino partnered with designer Jean Paul Gaultier to create an edgy and provocative shoot featuring models posing with bondage gear. In issue 38, artist Nicole Wermers created a surrealist photo series inspired by the work of Marcel Duchamp. And in issue 51, photographer Anja Lehner teamed up with stylist Juergen Teller to create a series of experimental portraits exploring gender fluidity and sexuality. Collaboration also allows 40 Magazine to explore new ways of presenting eroticism. Rather than relying solely on traditional nude photography, these projects push boundaries and challenge assumptions about what constitutes sexiness. They play with shape, color, texture, and light to create visually stunning images that transcend genre. Moreover, they allow the magazine to experiment with different themes and narratives, from the subversive to the sensual. Through collaboration, 40 Magazine demonstrates that art and fashion can be powerfully combined to create something truly special.
