Yay! That leads me to my next question: Have you been approached by brands? Yes, I have.Ĭan you say who? Not yet. Will you come to W and go shopping in our beauty closet? Oh my god, I’d be honored to! Please! How can I do my job with all this drama! I know! So much drama!Īnd yet, you’re always so kind and real and not back-stabby. I’m obsessed with you! I am so down that rabbit hole! I just found Untucked this morning. Kim! I am not worthy! I’m obsessed with Drag Race. Unlike other drag queens whose knowledge of high fashion stems from reading glossy magazines, Kim Chi – née Sang-Young Shin – is a student, her runway looks informed as much by pop culture as by the late Isabella Blow or obscure John Galliano collections. This season’s breakout is Kim Chi, a 28-year-old Korean by way of Chicago whose wildly inventive makeup suggests he was beamed in directly from a futuristic anime movie.
Over the years, the fashion world has doted on a number of contestants- Steven Meisel shot Carmen Carrera (Season 3) for this magazine a couple of years ago the contestants Milk (Season 6) and Violet Chachki (Season 7) are regulars in the front rows of Jacobs and Jeremy Scott. Count me in among them (Episode 9 airs tonight on Logo). Despite the brush with greatness, I have come late to the Drag Race party-eight seasons late, to be exact-though everyone from Marc Jacobs and Gigi Hadid-both judges this season-to the auctioneer Tobias Meyer is obsessed. It was a serious conversation, and he retained a serious demeanor throughout, though I don’t recall him warning any of us, “Don’t f-k it up”. I can remember neither her name nor her vocation, but Ru was definitely there.
Years and years before RuPaul’s Drag Race was the sensation it is today, the drag supermodel of the world sat on my balcony one summer afternoon in the late ’90s and interviewed her then psychic (or healer?) for Jane magazine.
