Tailoring the spirit
Briefly

Jerry Lorenzo and Andre Walker discuss the deeper significance of the Met Gala beyond its surface spectacle. They emphasize the event's role in celebrating cultural identity and craftsmanship. Lorenzo expresses that his approach to fashion is driven by genuine need rather than industry validation, valuing personal conviction. Walker speaks to the spiritual alignment in their work, highlighting the importance of rebellion and legacy in their designs. Together, they reflect on how their Blackness influences but does not define their artistry, reinforcing their dedication to cultural stewardship in fashion.
I think the Met has a much larger meaning to the fashion industry than it maybe does to me personally... I like just living in my ignorance of the scale of it.
Together, they reflect on identity, the humility of craftsmanship, and the cultural stewardship they bring to fashion's grandest stage.
