In the past months, a Pride flag was torn down by one of the North Carolina Legislators. That act became the spark for one of The Shoot’s most powerful concepts. A close friend of mine, a fashion designer (@rotted_threads ), is crafting a custom gown—a long, flowing piece made of the Pride flag colors, complete with an extended train. I envision you, in full glam, standing confidently on or near the steps of the Capitol and Legislative building, embodying resistance, beauty, and community pride.” ~ @sienna.lens 📸: @sienna.lens 👗: @rotted_threads 💅: @123clawedbysam
