Whata dress.It’sa scarf,
actually—IsseyMiyake.
I gotit becausea friendof

insilvertotheCrazyRich
Asians premiere last year.
She’s an artist and a DJ,
and her and her friend, who
is a stylist who works with
Solange, and her sister, who
is a model, all wore these
Issey scarves in different
colors as dresses. And when
I asked her about it, she said,
“You have to get it, it’s fab.”
The shoes are these slippers
I got from Morocco because
I want to be comfortable
and they look fancy, and also
because I have size 12 feet.
Size 12! I used to be so self-
conscious I’d stuff myself
into 10’s, but then I went to
the doctor and he said, “If
you don’t start wearing 12’s,
you’re going to have to get
foot surgery.” I have a lot
of aunties who have had foot
surgery, and it was not cute.
So then I was like, Girl, done.
Where are you going after
this? To the Frank Ocean
party because my friends,
this group Papi Juice, are
DJ-ing. But I heard the first
party last week was not fun.
Not, not, not fun at all. My
friends said, quote-unquote,
that the crowd was very not
the crowd. Very straight, very
scene-y. But, like, sneakerboy
scene-y. Fuccboi scene-y.
