Yes, fashion is such a liberating mode of expression! Especially for queer folx and this is probs why we gravitate so much towards seeing what's on runways and carpets. And also, I think the current rejection of the Met Gala is incredibly valid, needed, and not so complex. There is an ongoing genocide and our eyes/hearts should be there, not on celebrities and million/billionaires who are remaining silent in fits that cost and arm and a leg. Not to say we can't engage arts n fashion in this moment (maybe these are even the things that will sustain our joy during these times) but the Met Gala and its decadence are on such a different scale. Just my thoughts!
Thank you for your thoughts! I still say it's complex mostly because everything you said about the Met Gala has been true for much of its existence. There are always horrible atrocities and genocides happening if you know where to look. I think we all find joy in different places and should be open to letting people get theirs, while also advocating for peace. I don't think it's either or, as with so much of our world right now. But happy to hear where you're coming from :)
I bet Bowie did give a f*ck. Not that he cared what others thought, but he cared what he thought and felt in his clothes. He was curating himself, with care! Loved this! xN
