From childhood in Uzbekistan, clothes were my first freedom, threads of joy and defiance, weaving me queer, alive, becoming.
We would like to thank you for supporting Naina in this years competition. Your participation allows us to empower the Elton John AIDS Foundation in their mission to end AIDS for everyone, everywhere.
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.
