CRY BOY CRY
Aspen Grazier’s collection examines high-femme identity as a powerful and transgressive force, challenging traditional perceptions of beauty and gender expression. Drawing from fashion history and subversive cultural references, the work celebrates visibility, resistance, and joy—encouraging individuals to take up space unapologetically.
Beauty is Pain
Ben Williams’ collection explores the tension between beauty and discomfort, drawing inspiration from the idea of skin falling away to reveal what lies beneath. Through sculptural forms and dramatic silhouettes, the work transforms a visceral concept into something both striking and elegant—demonstrating a deep commitment to craftsmanship and conceptual design.
