This is the most revealing piece I have ever worn. Baring not just my arms but my entire back, and not just showing but highlighting the one part of my body I have battled most vehemently in my life. In a fitting, we thought about pulling back, covering the spot I once knew as the handle. But in that moment, I saw what it has become. I saw its beauty, and now I let myself show it to you. @luchen_ny, who created this for me for the Tony Awards, offers a brand mission statement: “Growth, atrophy, stasis, pulsation, the human body shape changes with time. Luchen’s design, draping starts from the structure, partially affixes to the body but eventually disengages, thus creating garments that embrace the instability caused by time while acting as three-dimensional objects.” Beauty that emerges on the changing body from the instability caused by time. That is the beauty of now that we step into and celebrate. The fabric, a metallic jacquard, is printed with a photograph taken by Lu Chen and manipulated until it became an organic series of colors and patterns. The laser cut fabric feathers represent the pixelization of our eye, how we see. The calendar label on the back of the pants marks the day the team completed the garment. The silver fingers are called Creator Fingers, a literal creation of self.
