Fashion Isn’t Frivolous

“Vain trifles as they may seem,

clothes have more offices than to merely keep us warm.

They change our view of the world,

and the world’s view of us.”

As I was putting together Kris’s looks she was sat chatting with the mag about her experience as an artist, creative doubts and ideas and the anxiety of showing your true self to the world. Something that sticks with me still, in the middle of the chat, as I’m thinking to myself the hard irony that someone so talented can still be so haunted by self doubt, I hear said, “ What you say here can save someone, what you say here can change how someone feels about themselves; can change a life, could save a life.” The power of this statement will always stay with me. The power of being honest, with our doubts, our thoughts, our dark moments and being courageous enough to share these intimate struggles along with the triumphs, not just the good but also the real, is so powerful and empowering to anyone plodding along on their own journey. I am so excited for this interview and such a fan of Kris, not just her work as an artist but also her openness and honesty and courage to express her authentic self to the world and what that could mean for someone listening. More to come #onetowatch

Transformation is something that I’ve always bee

Transformation is something that I’ve always been fascinated with, it’s what drew me to design and styling, the utterly transformational power of it. The ability it has to literally transform a person, a life, a moment.

Putting on a look is like putting on a mood.

And @jerkpierogi put on a mood.

I knew Jasmin before I styled her for this, an artist supporting artist feature for @gelbsy. An extremely talented hair and makeup artist, we’d worked together before, both in set staples, aka utilitarian clothing that can be worn for hours and somehow still defy the law of comfortability, an unspoken rule that certain clothing is only meant to be worn for a set number of hours a day, a rule unavoidably broken during long days on set. And so, when the moodboard for this project grazed my inbox, I was excited (and nervous) to play with the strong dominatrix vibe running through it with a subject used to pushing the bounds behind the scenes, not exploring outside their own bounds on camera.

But the clothes, they wrapped themselves around her and she commanded them as they attached to and pulled out a piece of personality the way that only clothing knows how, finding and coaxing out in a person what is needed to make them, the clothing, come alive. Together they brought the concept to life.

We become a conduit for the clothes we put on, and what they find within and pull out of us, and I am forever fascinated by this exchange ✨

Thanks for being such an adventurous muse @jerkpierogi #getthewhip
