“A word that I would use to describe New York beauty would have to be ‘cunt’” - @jimi_urquiaga 💅✨
In a series of vibrant polaroids, photographer @pasteltraces and creative director Jimi Urquiaga celebrate the diversity and individuality of New York’s drag community.
“My fellow drag artists in New York just have the it-factor – each person is a style icon in their own right and they serve it severely, making the New York scene a melting pot of what is current. New York is the moment.” says Urquiaga
If there’s one person who knows about serving cunt it’s Urquiaga, who at just 20 was awarded the first-ever title of Las Vegas’s ‘Best New Designer’ by Caesar’s Palace. Since then, the creative director, costume designer and drag performer has been working to document and celebrate LGBTQ+ artists and creatives in the fashion world.
In a city known for its melting pot of culture and identities, each person depicts their own unique character. The shoot showcases the range and diversity of the queens and how they use beauty to express themselves. The series brings together 33 different artists including Urquiaga’s drag persona @missleidyrodriguez, @realdominocouture and @dahlia_sin. From pageant to gender-fuck queens, Urquiaga uses the colour spectrum to capture the breadth in style and identity of each person.
Serving cunt can be about boldness and taking up space in the world even when faced with ignorance, but ultimately to serve cunt is to always honour uniqueness in beauty.
