Qween Jean on Creating the Costumes—or ‘the Armor’—for ‘Saturday Church’
['Juan A. Ramírez']
Vogue
“It’s no surprise—I think it’s divine—that this year we were celebrating dandyism at the Met Gala,” she says.
“We’re seeing the connective tissue from Africa to the ways that Black and brown bodies look at tailoring.
Jean says there’s an “earnestness and truth” to the collaboration, pointing to the label’s history of charitable giving.
“I see the way people show up in spite of the things that they might be going through,” Jean says.
That specificity comes from seeing folks on the train, seeing the way they’re tying their laces, details about their footwear, even, that can become signifiers of how people put things together.”
