GHOST OF GALA: JOHN 2025

"MAKE FASCISM GREAT AGAIN"
THIS COLLECTION OF REWORKS AND CUT-N-SEW PIECES FOR THE GHOST OF GALA RUNWAY (10/25/2024) WAS MEANT TO EXPLORE MY DISDAIN FOR FORMAL WEAR WHILE EXPRESSING MY CRITICISMS OF THE MODERN POLITICAL CLIMATE. THE CORE IDEA WAS TO TAKE TRIED AND TRUE ELEMENTS OF FORMAL WEAR AND CORRUPT THEM WITH ELEMENTS FROM THE EARLY GOTH AND BRITISH PUNK COUNTERCULTURE. THE COLLECTION TITLE, "JOHN 2025: MAKE FASCISM GREAT AGAIN", WAS MEANT TO BE A THINLY VIELED PARADY OF DONALD TRUMP'S OWN MAGA CAMPAIGN. THROUGH VIEWING THIS COLLECTION MY GOAL IS TO COMPEL DEEPER THOUGHT INTO WHO POLITICAL LEADERS ARE AND WHAT THEY TRULY STAND FOR, IGNORING OUTWARD APPEARANCE.
