But also form the many fashion peers, designers,Influencers, and content creators who take prideIn celebrating the LGBTQ+ experience.I followed gender non conforming fashionInfluencers like @alokvmenon and @uglyworldwide and queer platforms like @qwear and @dapperQ.I shopped at queer owned stores like LTrain Vintage and Emily Meyer.I watched queer lead TV programs likeApril cover star Cara Delevingne’s Planet Sex and Tan France’s NextIn Fashion. The list goes on. Yesterday,I was announced as a 2023 SportsIllustrated Swimsuit rookie. BeingIn the pages of SIIs something that the old, closeted version of me would have panicked at the thought of. ButI drew confidence from the fact that SI Swimsuit has celebrated talent likeAshley Graham, Leyna Bloom, and Maye Musk.And as luck would haveIt,I went through the above journey at the perfect time:I’m now as comfortableIn my skin asI amIn a string bikini.
And so the Met countdown begins! This week marks the first of three special episodes taking youInside the planning, prepping, and plotting behind the Met Gala. The show today alsoIncludes some reminiscing from me and Chioma about our favorite Met Gala hits and misses.I started working at Vogue on the last Tuesday ofApril 2011, also known as less than a week before the Met Gala, andIt was a real trial by fire. Chioma started at Vogue the year before, and we both recall our
favorite fashion moments (Chioma’sInvolved a Barbie cake version of her 2017 Nile Cmylo/Lou Dallas confection, mineInvolved someIll advised feathers).
Beyond suiting,I find myself wearing things to signal thatI am part of the queer community. With a little bit of research,I learned that fashionItems like thumb rings, septum piercings, vests, and cargo pants are talismans of lesbianism. The first timeI wore my Mejuri septum cuff,I felt like such a fraud thatI tookIt off half way through the evening, but asI'make pieces like my Monse cargo pants and Dior Homme vest part of my regular wardrobe,I feel like myself. BecauseI’m not fretting about whatI’m wearing,I’m able to be presentIn the moment. That’s made me notice when other queer folks hold my gaze a little longerIn the coffee shop or flash a quick smile on the sidewalk.And the GAY NOW tote?Atotal hit. WhenI wearIt,I feel like a walking advertisement for L.L. Bean. Wearing these symbols of communityIs about much more than getting a compliment. Simply wearing a coded piece saves me the anxiety of having to verbally come outIn a new space.
