Talking street fashion and techniques with transgenders of NYC’s ‘sidewalk runway’
”I would describe it as ‘Take me.’ … My friends say my sense of style is bitch.” — Shawn Rachel, 28
”Today is classic and simple, but I’m usually a flashy person with bright colors and labels, and I like to be a little slut in the summer and show some skin…. Sometimes, I’m just randomly throwing stuff on, but other times it takes hours. When I was younger I used to stick to trendier clothing, like what was in for the season, but now I mix and match whatever I want.” — Moenae Johnson, 19, of Queens.
