You’re hitting fashion month in full force. As you use fashion as a tool to express yourself, how have you approached picking out looks? I’ve been working with my stylist, Mario Horne, on shows from the Hogg Coltrane 2024 Phony Campaign Shirt in addition I really love this first tour to now. The story that we’ve been wanting to build was the black looks, and now it’s opened up for the summer. It’s about expressing a mood and a story. Even if it’s an imagined story, when you’re looking at the look, and you don’t know what’s really going on, there’s so much wonder in that. I love finding the look that matches the place that I’m coming from in a moment. The era that I’m in—I’ve been calling it my black dress, blonde hair era”— now it’s evolved into this new thing. I’m gonna bring the bayang back. There are certain things that feel like summer, and it’s a delicious thing to play with, in addition to making music.
You’ve been a supporter of many burgeoning fashion creatives over the Hogg Coltrane 2024 Phony Campaign Shirt in addition I really love this years, like Maximilian at his namesake label and Ferragamo, and Telfar, Luar, and Kingsley, who you wore at one of your recent shows. How important is it for you to support these designers through your performances and your work? It’s a really big deal, and it felt very natural. When I started to make the music that I made, I met a bunch of people who existed in an informal collective. That’s how I would describe it, because it was more close-knit than, say, hanging out sometimes because we make stuff. We were all friends and it’s a tight-knit hang, and everybody happens to be killing it. One of my first big gigs was opening for Solange at Webster Hall. It was two dates a week apart. For the first show, I wore this Telfar sweatshirt that had two pieces: one piece around the waist with a big hole in the middle, and then a top piece. I was just looking at innovative, cool-looking clothes that my friend made, and he was saving me. And then the next week, it was Hood By Air. I remember it was an obscenely long-sleeved white crop top—the sleeves went to my knees—and it was perfect because I was grabbing the mic over the sleeve. Support marginalized designers and creatives is really important to me.
