Serpentine reclining figure, Olmec, 900-300 BC

“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.”

“I’m wearing a completely thrifted outfit from Portland, Oregon. Jewelry is from Nomi Tref. I get inspiration from everywhere, but especially my friends who are all creatives and so fashionable. I think fashion should be fun and exciting; to me it is like cosplaying a character.”
