It’s a heinous crime against fashion that Dazed 100 model Aaron Philip has never sashayed down a catwalk – that is, until last night.
Debuting at WILLIENORRIS WORKSHOP, she is breaking boundaries in fashion as black, transgender, wheelchair-using model. The audience at the show – that took place in New York yesterday – erupted in applause as she werked the room.
The show itself was the designer’s debut and featured a diverse cast or races, sizes, and gender identities. If you missed out, don’t worry because activist and D100 alum Adam Eli took over live on @dazedfashion.
With her eyes set on more established brands like Prada, Dior, and Gucci, let’s hope it’s not long before we see her making appearances there.
