The schism between us. Such a heady assertion intimates the inherent tension between “self” and “other”: the disavowal, the refusal, and the threat, real or not, of rejection! Certainty clears its throat. Humility steps aside. There’s a natural force to be reckoned with, a potent provocation. Yet how might this dynamic reveal itself in the quietness of an image? Or in the dialectic between beauty and fashion, fashion and style?

On the runway, Alton Mason glides with rhythm, allowing his spindly body to pulse with precision. His expressions exude swagger—a slight smirk, a dalliance with his eyes—or sometimes, he does what’s in his spirit, like when he did a backflip at the Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2019 show after the late Virgil Abloh asked him to improvise.

Clothes shrink and disappear under the unforgiving, white-hot summer sun. But for the whimsical and inspired, the bone-dry heat is no match for the fantasy of getting dolled up.

Prized possessions do not arrive often, but when they do, they stay long, inhabiting the warm corners of our lives. These are the materials that distinguish our environments, the poetic flairs that find their way into descriptions of our personhood. She makes her coffee at home, eats an egg from a silver cup, pins her singular style on shoes and bags, and treasures the tangible: well-crafted silverware, china, objects for memories to coalesce.
