“I’m wearing a 1930s Madame Berthé stage bodice, 1940s costume petticoat, 1980s sheer knee socks, 1970s Maud Frizon shoes, my beloved Elsa Peretti necklace, and a felted flower brooch from Etsy. Im inspired by dilapidated interiors, bootleg culture, religious figurines, and power dressing.”

Mycha, 30

“I’m wearing Celia B dress, Studio Arik necklace that I extended with some carabiners and license plate attachments, Urban Expressions bag, boots are from Cavenders in Texas that I got when I was 15 years old. My style over the last year has had a bit of a symbiotic relationship with the paintings I make – vibrant color and lots of bold patterns. I did a body of work about growing up in Texas recently and it made me fall back in love with wearing cowboy boots with everything. I’m enjoying letting my style become apart of my artistic practice and in turn letting my artistic practice be inspired by my style. It’s helped me feel really in tune with myself.”
