“The Rebel” 2022 QUEERA (Mackage leather jacket, paint, coffee, eyelets, chain, metal studs, metal spikes, rhinestones, feathers) The Rebel screams “You’re not my real dad anyway!” The Rebel is the one that represents the counter culture, protest, and strength of our community. We thrive amongst the angst of the everyday, moving with justice and fluidity. Like Freddy Mercury, Elton John, Klaus Nomi, Sylvia Rivera, Tom of Finland, these leaders have showed us there’s no need to hide in fear. Let’s tear apart the norm, burn down the patriarchy, and do it with glamour. Punk is glamour. And sometimes, you have to shout to be heard. @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
