When you think of H&M, you're thinking of something that's accessible to a broad range of people, perhaps far broader than most of these beautiful shows.

My only bookings this week came from within my friends. Trans people have been central to New York’s art and fashion scene for nearly as long as those ‘scenes’ have existed as we know them. It’s about time that this reality was represented on the city’s runways.

We consume luxury. We participate in the image industry in a meaningful way, and we have a look and a background that should be taken on its own terms.

I feel like you can't just have fashion for fashion's sake.

I think that just because I'm trans, and I feel like I have to prove to people that I'm a woman sometimes, I'm never going to sacrifice my vision of femininity to make it clearer for other people. Even if it sometimes gets cloudy.

I would say I'm waiting for, I guess, designers to open up their vision.

I can kind of fit the women's and the men's samples in a very similar way, just because of where my body is in my life, and I feel like it's modern to mix.
