11/8/2023 0 Comments Project runway model mimi![]() ![]() I think design wise, it also came together because I designed a goddess gown. I was so blessed that Mimi told her story and then I was able to share my story. Something that is more special when it has a strong narrative to it. I am actually celebrating the Indian festival and we celebrate the feminine energy and today, we are all in the feminine waters! Mimi came in and it’s like the cosmos and the stars aligned and they wanted us to come together to create something, which was so much more than my design. KK: I really loved my first runway! Mimi and I, I was just so blessed. ![]() Every human cries, everyone is happy and everyone is under pressure we just have to embrace it and love ourselves. At the end of the day, we make clothes but clothes are something that really make a human connection. Every time I am watching the show, it is very essential for people to understand who I am as a human being. If you take the emotions out of me as a human being, I don’t think people would be able to understand who I am as a designer. KK: Whenever I am designing, I always say that my designs are a tactile expression of abstract emotions. What was it like letting everyone see the real Kovid during your time on the show? ![]() MC: You are very emotional, passionate and outspoken on Project Runway. At the end of the day, these are the narratives that bring us together and I just wanted to do that. I think that what we need to do at this point and time is to just keep expressing ourselves and just keep telling our stories so we can start having more and more conversations about members of the LGBT community throughout the world and how difficult it might get for us sometimes. However, there is a certain backlash that does come from the culture. Especially where I come from, we are trying to go toward a more liberal society. I am really excited and just want to go out there and be me and have so much fun. KK: This is going to be an extremely auspicious Pride month, as I finally got to tell the world about my story. How does now being able to express yourself fully as a fully realized person affect your design perspective? Advertisement MC: It is definitely much easier for members of the LGBT community to be open here as opposed to living as an openly LGBT person in India. That is where my creative designs really come from. I always believe that when I encounter a situation that is difficult to understand, it can lead to a real turning of my mind. That kind of took a little push and a little pull for me to really do. When merging those two aesthetics together, I was developing a completely evolved ideology for myself. I never wanted to let go of my cultural identity though, because that is what makes my work so unique. Kovid Kapoor: When I came to America, I was taking in the culture and I was also learning American culture in terms of what the fashion is actually all about. What is the hardest thing about merging your two aesthetics into one when creating fashion? Michael Cook: Your aesthetic definitely merges your own Indian culture with what you have learned here in the United States. ![]()
