“The Diva” 2022 QUEERA (Mackage poncho, velvet, fringe, tea, sequin fringe, beaded fringe, rhinestone fringe, rhinestones, victorian chandelier crystals) The moment I saw the white poncho, the first thing that came to mind was an Erté illustration. I thought about queer fine artists who have influenced us for centuries. All the music and film performers who embody the glamour we as artists try to encapsulate and putting it towards our own personal style. Performers like Liberace, and artists like Michelangelo, DaVinci, JC Leyendecker & again, Erté. @papermagazine @mackage @queerawang #papermag #queera #mackage #ad After / Before Designer @curtismcassell Photography @lukeabby DP @evadnegonzalez Digitech @julianlopeznyc Styling @rubendemelomoreira Styling assistant @yutsao Hair @tak8133 Makeup @jezzhill Producer @dubfoster Studio @colonystudios Sewing assistant @samanthadebardelaben
