I loved meeting @therealnarcissister through getting dressed and posing together at the Chelsea Hotel for @buffalozine (hot July day, lace, Portishead, her sexy/disturbing mask.) When the shoot was done we sat down and talked with Natasha Stagg and it was a fizzy, floaty feeling, getting to know each other *after* having already been physically intimate. That's why it's so candid. To read it, pre-order now, link in the @buffalozine bio 📷@tinatyrell Fashion: @taticotliar PS: If you don't know @therealnarcissister ‘s work then this is a very exciting and momentous day for you (I pasted a bit below but obv you know how to obsessively search a fascinating person.) "Narcissister’s strong feminine presence and confrontation of sexual and racial stereotypes is grounded in my own feminism and background as an African American/Sephardic Jewish woman. Always staying true to her essential self (a self obscured by the mask), Narcissister enacts the shifting and changing of roles and identities skillfully and gracefully, a nod to the need to accept and surrender to impermanence (a belief I have practiced in my study of Buddhism). Wearing the mask, and portraying a variety of roles, Narcissister provides me a visceral and kinesthetic experience of seeing the world through another's eyes, of seeing another point of view, thereby allowing for a broader transpersonal experience." #buffalohotel #hotelchelsea #issue16
