“I’m wearing Shop Syro boots, Vivienne Westwood dress and gloves, a vintage Venezia coat, and a Cole Hann bag. Currently, I’ve been inspired by late 70s and early 80s style silhouettes.”

If you remember everything, I wanted to say, and if you are really like me, then before you leave tomorrow, or when you’re just ready to shut the door of the taxi and have already said goodbye to everyone else and there’s not a thing left to say in this life, then, just this once, turn to me, even in jest, or as an afterthought, which would have meant everything to me when we were together, and, as you did back then, look me in the face, hold my gaze, and call me by your name.

“I’m wearing a top from Urban Outfitters, thrifted Looney Toons overalls, Fenty Puma creepers and a necklace from Genesis. I’m always drawing inspiration from other queer people of color. Moving to New York has pushed my style in a more experimental way. I always want to stand out in a crowd because blending in is boring , and my queer blackness needs to be seen and heard. Recently I’ve been loving sex-wear like harnesses, hand cuffs, and lingerie and incorporating it in everyday looks. It makes people stop and look twice at what i’m wearing and why I’m wearing it; it’s all contributing to a more sex positive society.”
