.ChristianCowan’s fun spring collection featured collaboration with LilNasX, a positive message and a great cause.
Months ago, designer Christian Cowan knew he wanted to take the upcoming, one-of-a-kind September fashion week as an opportunity to do something different, big and important. Fantastically fun fashion, a unisex collaboration with Lil Nas X, a positive message and a great cause — Cowan’s megawatt spring collection brought it all.
“I was working on a more traditional collection originally, but then everything started to happen with Black Lives Matter in America and I thought, ‘How do we do something that raises money for good?'” Cowan remarked. The designer, wanting to make a significant impact, with wider reach, thought of the perfect collaborator. Cue Lil Nas X.
“Culturally, he’s a really important figure because he’s in rap and country — two worlds that are traditionally quite homophobic, quite frankly — and he’s promoting his queerness and being so proud of it,” Cowan expressed. “That’s so important for all the young people in the audience to see that message being championed.
Garments varied from collaboration merch to Cowan’s signature escapist, dramatic designs, all of which were inspired by the Seventies punk and queer movements; specifically the era’s non-mainstream venues that would allow both punk and queer events to happen, often in tandem.
To top it all off, the expressive fashions were featured on a glitter-covered, spiked-hair cast, of 28 LGBTQ activists, artists and models including: Cargle, Lil Nas X, Heidi Klum, Marc Jacobs, Helena Christensen, Teddy Quinlivan, Aweng Chuol, Hanne Gaby, Cowan himself and many more.You May Also Like
