Feminist Makeup Tutorial (PARODY) DapperQ. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY. Autostraddle. Autostraddle. Get Mens Designer Clothing. How to Tie a Bow Tie [VIDEO] Androgynous Rock Fashion with Kiyomi McCloskey. *Feature image by Annie Frame.
Kiyomi McCloskey is the front-woman of alternative rock band Hunter Valentine. Originally from Ontario, Canada, Kiyomi now lives in New York City and was most recently one of the stars of “Showtime’s hit series” (Hi, I’m Ilene Chaiken…) The Real L Word. Honestly, coming into this, dapperQ had some questions for Kiyomi about how she was portrayed in TRLW, but since doing some research and reading her AfterEllen interview, and her blog for the Huffington Post, these questions have been answered.
Instead dapperQ learned some things about Kiyomi’s take on androgyny, fashion, David Bowie, and rock and roll. dapperQ: Where’d the name come from? Kiyomi: You know…the band has been together for a long time. Photo of Hunter Valentine by Leslie Van Stelten dapperQ: Were you writing songs around this character? Kiyomi: In the beginning, there were a lot of themes around that character, but there’s only so much you can write about one person’s experience.
DapperQ: Fashion's Groundbreaking Gender Benders. Damn Girl Ya Look Good. I’ve become obsessed with fashion lately, and I would love to be one of those people who have a signature style and look amazing every day. But how do I figure out what my own personal style is? And how do you keep up with that every single day without spending too much money or feeling too uncomfortable? What do people with really strong personal styles do on days when they wake up and are just too tired or lazy to put that much effort into an outfit? As someone who takes her personal style VERY seriously (just kidding, I don’t really) I have learned that after a while you don’t have to worry about keeping up with it every day. This is because your style ends up naturally flowing into whatever you do, even if you are wearing leggings and a T-shirt! The key to figuring out what you want to look like is to avoid copying anyone else exactly, but instead to think about what it is about how they wear those stockings or that hat that appeals to you, and interpret that your own way.

Casey Legler is a woman working as a male model.
She looks wonderfully comfortable shrugging into tailored suits and chomping on cigars. But assigning words to the experience isn’t as easy. In an interview in her New York City studio, Legler steers around phrases like “gender identity” and “gender expression” in favor of having a conversation about freedom. “I understand signifiers. We’re social creatures and we have a physical language of communicating with each other,” she says. Androgyny has long been celebrated in the fashion world. Legler landed the modeling gig this summer when her friend, the photographer Cass Bird, invited her at the last minute to participate in the role of a man for a photo shoot for Muse magazine.
“This is a unique little moment that fashion is allowing to have happen,” Legler says. Her own relationship with fashion has always been complex. “It really was just something that I happened to be good at,” Legler says. “That was the beginning,” Legler says. V MAGAZINE.
