Front and center, on their own terms.

Cleft Fashion brings teenagers born with a cleft lip and palate into modern editorial photography: high-fashion styling, striking portraiture and refined light.

It puts these young men and women front and center in a world historically reserved for rigid beauty standards, far from the clinical way they are usually photographed.

Vulnerability becomes an assertion of confidence, individuality and self-expression.
