How #DeGenderFashion Creator ALOK Got Ready For Prabal Gurung's Virtual Fashion Week

PS: How has your own approach to styling a look changed throughout the course of the pandemic?
ALOK: There's so much pain, anguish, and hopelessness around. Style gives me a semblance of control. I can't necessarily control what's happening in the world, but I can put together an outfit. It helps me return to myself. The ritual of it all is calming. Also, it's about creating excitement; bursts of creativity in all the monotony.

PS: Why is it so important for designers to be making political statements through their collections right now?
ALOK: It's always been important. But, I think it's important that we move to a place where representing plus-size bodies, disabled bodies, dark skin bodies, and gender non-conforming bodies isn't seen as "political," just "honest."
