“I am wearing Lgb cardigan, a beanie I got from a street vendor off Union Square, and thrifted bag (I’ve usually seen that type handmade from Brazil). I’m inspired by organic materials, as well as trinkets. A bit of ethical over consumption though that of course doesn’t exist. The mixing off different patterns and fabrics combined into one outfit with an interesting silhouette.“

Jonathan Joss was an Indigenous, gay man who was murdered on the first day of Pride month as well as Indigenous History Month. He died protecting his trans husband. Homophobia and racism aren’t marks of the past, and this is a heart breaking reminder of that.

“I’m wearing a thrifted y2k style brown mesh top, thrifted brown midi ruffle skirt, Miista khaki embossed leather knee high boots, Matin Kim belt bag with the Miffy charm, silver metal belt, Gentle Monster sunglasses and various silver jewellery! My style is mostly elevated basics with a Japanese minimalism influence. I like cohesive outfits with sculptural silhouettes and earthy neutrals, then I layer on vintage silver jewellery so the look still feels interesting. I’m inspired by Japanese and Chinese fashion, Scandinavian minimalism and some 90s styling, so I’m always drawn to structured pieces and slightly avant-garde details.”

“I’m wearing secondhand tops and pants, skirt by @crazyjaunji, necklaces by @Shopclutterbug and @strawbetron, earrings @shopclutterbug, hat @stellarpride, hair clips@shopclutterbug and @strawbetron. My style inspiration: Growing up reading fashion magazines that got inspired from fashions from all over the world like Nylon, Fruits magazine, Tumblr. I’m also very inspired by my old middle school self right now.”

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

“I’m wearing the ShuShu Cherry trainer hime set in candy pink, Truth or Dare polka dot shirt, My Melody plush bag from Donquixote in Japan. I’m inspired by hime, gyaru, and jfashion.”

But somewhere along the line they just… Disappeared. My mom says they’re not being paid and they’re not in collections. It’s almost as if someone out there did…exactly what Parker did.

“i’m wearing an utility belt made from my room mate’s old cargo pants, donkey cart license plate on a necklace chain, old Albany Times Union newsboy satchel I dyed and striped, New Rocks that I refuse to give up on, lacy socks I cut into fingerless gloves. Otherwise everything’s always second hand or diy. My inspiration comes from a lot of places but I’d say creepy dolls, the zombie apocalypse, and things I collect from the ground.”
