the Romance of the Telescope

Costume appreciation series: The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994) dir Stephan Elliott

Christopher, 37

“My style is inspired by curiosity more than rules, dahling. Nature. Black culture. Queer joy. Elders with presence. Children with imagination. I’m inspired by anything that reminds me that personal style can be both armor and play. And honestly? The older I get, the more I’m inspired by people who look like they got dressed for themselves instead of for approval. There’s something deeply stylish about someone fully existing in their own language. My sunglasses are by 12PM Studios, coat and shirt by Christopher John Rogers, jeans Zara, bag by Telfar, and shoes by JW Anderson. ”
