Fathers Kaleb Anthony and Kordale Lewis are the faces of European fashion house Acne Studios' latest collection—appearing in the campaign with their four children.
The couple first gained widespread attention in 2014 when they uploaded a photo of themselves doing their daughters’ hair before school.
"Being fathers is getting our daughters up at 5:30 am making breakfast getting them dressed for school and putting them on the bus by 6:30,” the caption read.
“This is a typical day in our household. It's not easy but we enjoy every moment and every minute of #fatherhood.”
Anthony and Lewis are pictured in the shoot at a New York hotel with their four children— Desmiray (10), Maliyah (9), Kordale Junior (8), and Kaleb Junior (8 months) all wearing matching pieces from the collection.
“We’re the first Black LGBT family to represent a high fashion European clothing line,” the couple wrote on their joint Instagram account.
Acne spokesperson Jonny Johansson said in a statement on the company’s website that campaign highlights that there is no ‘normal’ family—“all families are normal”.
“It is also a way of highlighting that while every family is different, we all have the same love and want the best for our children,” Johansson said.
“A modern family can be an interracial couple, a modern family can be a gay couple, a modern family can be a heterosexual couple.
“A modern family is one that loves their children and loves to be together as one, despite their sexual preferences or the colour of their skin.”
