Arts
On this episode of MTM, I sit down for a chat with fashion designer and drag queen Buzz.Buzz’s bio reads as follows… Buzz is an emerging fashion thing who runs a label called ReBaie by Rebée. ReBaie was born in the mall (proverbially and otherwise), and currently converges at the fun n' funky intersection of tween-ness, me-ness and Venus. Buzz is on the bored of some stuff and never salts her driveway before she tastes it.Though Buzz doesn’t spend as much time in the drag world these days, we discuss her secretive introduction to fashion and drag and the sometimes sticky relationship between familial expectations and the need to pursue art. We talk about how fashion changes your perceived role in society both internally and externally and what it means to put yourself into your art; both literally and figuratively. We discuss breaking through societal norms and what it means to develop your brand and how it can evolve over time. We talk about how the worlds of drag and fashion are permeated by a strong sense of humour and self-deprecation and we talk about how that’s influenced Buzz’s work.Finally, we discuss Buzz's perspective on being a millennial in the world of art and creation.
