“I’m wearing a button up from Vivienne Westwood, skirt from UNIQLO, tank from a small brand called Uninspired4ever, my shoes are Converse, and my hat is CFIERCE. It’s hard to say exactly what inspires my style, but I would say it’s whatever is bringing me safety + joy in the moment. I like cute things that are otherwise nonfunctional and find inspiration in design rooted in intention and play.”

Lei, 22

“I’m wearing a two piece set from Mars The Label, a shirt and corset I thrifted, my jacket is from Primark, my boots are DC and my bag is Juicy Couture. Everything and everyone inspires me. I take a lot of inspiration from my childhood (My Little Pony, The Last Unicorn, Rainbow Brite, etc). I’m alternative in every sense of the word. I love bright colors, lots of accessories and latex. I like challenging the norms that society puts black women in and for that very reason I leave the house everyday looking like a cartoon character.”
