GIGI GOODE OUTFITS HOW TO
It also goes some way in explaining why Goode’s outfits were just so very good – because she taught her how to sew. Self-confessedly walking the runways in her hallways since she was six, fashion has always played a huge role in Goode’s identity she cites Jeremy Scott as her favourite designer - which makes complete sense considering his clever pop-culture take on design and ability to have fun with fashion and has been inspired by her mother, a theatrical costume designer and seamstress, who helped on some of her Drag Race looks. “Right now there are so many different ways to identify that it can be overwhelming for those who have been raised in these very backwards-thinking environments to accept all the different ways that people can identify and live their lives.” Regarding opinions contesting such a dream, Goode says: “It’s really hard for people to get out of that mind set - and I’m not by any means saying that’s right because it’s totally not, it’s a really fucked up way of thinking - but it’s interesting what can be brought to light about how people were brought up.” Earlier this year the author JK Rowling found herself amid controversy over transphobic comments. Queer people are used to adapting to what’s going on around them in order to be able to live comfortably “My number one dream is to be at the forefront of the fashion world as a non-binary drag artist.”

“Because of Ru Paul’s Drag Race, being gay and being a drag queen, being queer or whatever you want to call it, is so welcomed.” And it was during the series that Goode came out as gender fluid. “It’s almost like the sports of the queer community,” describes Monroe. It’s something the show has been championing for the past 11 years and some 150-plus queens later. Because for such a long time queer art was taboo and underground and now that we have this big platform that is on social media, it’s almost a responsibility to adapt.” “Also, queer people are just used to adapting to what’s going on around them in order to be able to live comfortably and be able to live safely and continue making their art.
Of course, at the beginning it was really quite scary and it still is uncertain but we’ve been adapting,” she says. “Us as people and as friends, I think it’s in our nature to adapt to whatever is going on around us. Gigi Goode and Marko Monroe Hunter Crenshaw “We’re definitely going to bring fashion into that, fashion segments,” shares Goode, excited to embrace this new URL performance world in lieu of the one she knew before. The premiere global live-streaming site that boasts 10,000,000 active daily users (more often to gamers) will now also be home to Avalon-curated content - public-television-style, circa the '80s.
“Because she’s not just a muse, I’m not just a stylist,” says Monroe of their self-directed hyper-real vistas, photographed by Monroe’s boyfriend.
The pair have gone about setting themselves a series of projects to keep themselves busy: a photo shoot that explores their relationship as “artist to artist”. “It was like an instant and personal connection,” she says, and has recently moved from down the street to over the road from the House where the creativity has been flowing during lockdown. It was a “cosmic happy coincidence” that she met Monroe through the party troupe House of Avalon, and the pair immediately hit it off. “Oh I know her” “I’ve heard about you” “I’ve seen you on Instagram,” uttered her fellow queens, quaking beneath their eyelashes and clearly intimidated just as much by her vital social stats - which at the time were at half a million - as they were her fashion prowess. We’re really lucky to have that.”Ĭertainly, Goode’s own Instagram reputation preceded her at the series’ start. If the pandemic wasn’t happening right now, my audience each night would be max 300 whereas every single day my audience is one million. “I feel lucky that we have social media because drag has become so big, the audience hasn’t got any smaller.
“Six months went by and I hadn’t been on a stage,” relays Goode, who is the drag persona of Samuel Geggie, 22, today dressed down on Zoom from LA. But, just after the first show aired, life went into lockdown. Gigi Goode should have been “travelling constantly” right now, visiting different cities, countries and clubs on tour following her runner-up position, and breakout star status, on the recent series of Ru Paul’s Drag Race.
