Upon reflection of Neighborhood Stories and the journals of Wu Yubi #fashioninspo #neighborhoodstories #anime #postsoviet #WuYubi #grandparents #osprey #lowaboots #tsuguyainoue #avantgarde #reikawakubo #docmartens Kiki Kostandinov X Asics Gessirit sneaker.

New exhibition Axis Mundo: Queer Networks in Chicano LA at the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland. I was blown away at the archived clothes featured here. The patchwork pants paired with a hand embroidered “Les petites bon bons” jean jacket was a vibrant time piece of the queer punk subculture in the 80’s. Reminiscent of the the drag fashion of this era, the hand pained heels were one of the most beautifully preserved shoes I have ever seen. Some of my favorite use of pattern and color that I have come across Recent pick ups!! What y’all rocking recently?
