Naina

From childhood in Uzbekistan, clothes were my first freedom, threads of joy and defiance, weaving me queer, alive, becoming.

What makes your style stand out?

I personally see my style as if Anthony Bourdain would be wearing Y/Project and Margiela, digging out vintage military uniforms, but also slipping into hot, cunty silk dresses and the occasional high heels. I don’t think that many people are simply into the same random things as I am.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

I wish I could travel in time and watch the Maison Margiela 2024 Artisanal Collection! Too hot.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’ll spend a quarter on vintage Galliano and McQueen, pick up a few more Tabi heels, set aside 10% for charity, and put the rest into the S&P 500, haha.
