Crafting sharp, audacious and queer creations – think: explicit R-rated cut-outs and velvet bodysuits – Mexico-city native Victor Barragán is challenging normative beauty ideals and defying static gender tropes with his ballsy designs. A T-shirt printed with an image of Leonardo DiCaprio pouring tears of MS-DOS folders became not only his best-selling item but advanced Victor onto the fashion scene where his designs continue to stay humorous without losing their gravity. These days, the New York designer is taking a refreshing and sensuous spin on the way people dress; seaming a forward perspective into today’s social fabric.
