'I put cis men in heels. The more I keep doing it, they start to let dudes do it.' - RaulLopez on his unapologetically glamorous LUARSS23 show
presented “LA ALTA GAMA,” an SS23 runway show that served as an unapologetically glamorous homage to the Dominican designer’s roots. Lopez treated guests to a real show, from the entrance mob , to the high powered collection featuring deconstructed suiting and elegant gowns adorned with sparkles and Vanjie swag. On the catwalk, models carried “Ana” bags in new silhouettes and colors , and stopped to pose in front of spotlit oval mirrors just to show how much they were feeling themselves.
MACIAS: It was a very direct nod to Latino culture, and it set the tone, really, for the entire show. MACIAS: In your show notes, you mentioned something about celebrating the immigrant experience. And I feel like what you’re talking about is very much a part of that. You might be suffering, or doing something to survive, but when you get with your family, you want to celebrate and look good while doing it.MACIAS: It’s something that you’ve been doing over and over.
LOPEZ: Right, I put cis men in heels. The more I keep doing it, they start to let dudes do it. I feel like they’re becoming a little more understanding that it’s not about, “Oh, I’m a straight dude. Don’t put me in heels” It’s more like, “Who cares? All the models actually love me. They actually hug me. I’m a family person. I love to build community. Everyone is welcome. I think with the whole thing with my shows, it’s always a reflection of myself.
