THE WORLD ACCORDING TO PUSSY NOIR
Follow Pussy Noir’s historic fellowship at the Kennedy Center as she blends history, queerness, and couture. Her marquee project is a self-produced queer fashion show; can she make her ideas sing on the catwalk? “I want queer people to have beautiful clothes for the day, every day... I want queer people to be able to express their variety of gender identities through the clothes that I can provide, so this show is about establishing, in a visual way, a queer aristocracy.” -Pussy Noir
