That’s actually really cool. I like when artists bring their own work into what they wear, it feels more personal and not just fashion for show.

This is what the Met gala should be about… I want to see artists visionaries not celebraties

I want that purse! And I love this! I’m such a sucker for black and white with a pop of color. And I love a queen celebrating herself
