All language subtitles for parte dos espanol

And today we are going to celebrate
a little that

because it is the first time
that a reception is made.

The gala is always made,
But as there were so many artists

Involved in this process

of creating Dandy and create Superfine

and this language that comes from
The African -American style

I was understanding how
Develop an identity language,

as well as creating this element of

Maintain many of those
color textiles

but tailored to your measure

Tailored to you.

And I think today, as I tell you,
I will be dressed in Edwin Reyes.

Tell me about that

Yes, Edwin Reyes
is a Puerto Rican designer

I love, that I love very much,

I met through
Lucia Hierro

his work has been fantastic

because he makes a reflection of what
The artist is doing with his culture,

Then, this time I am
as super excited

because I have also started too
A stage as curator

to create a relationship between fashion and
How they are going to be presented
for your openings and others.

Then, I was doing stylish
very slightly,

but more a conversation

between the artist and the designer.

Then, I am like a manager
to think,

oh, such a friend wants to open
his show such a day

depending on the weather, depending
The season that is.

I think of a designer that
is also Latin

because we have many and
Some who do not live here,

But we have spaces
as tumbao,

An example that is a store
in Lower East Side.

Then, today, Marty invited me and
also extended the invitation

to other friends that

Also asked me, about inviting them

Then, we invited Edwin,
He has dressed us several times,

has dressed Lucia and
to different Latin artists.

My friend curry will come
Also, Curry Hetket,

What has been for me a
Total inspiration.

When I moved to DC, he was a
of the people who welcomed me.

He went to Howard University

also, which is like iconic, part of the
history of the
African -American community.

Then, for me I did not think
in nobody else that were not
like curry,

My friend Derric,
also Hector Serna

will come, which was the
The Exibit Designer

of the exhibition and has worked
in manufacturing

Latin Chicano.

That is how
Much pride, to be dressing up

and being using some pieces that are
significant for our community

and be celebrating with people
that has been part of my development

of my style and also to know

Why many of these elements
go to clothes

Curry works a lot with the
denim, with the indigo,

that has many connections with Africa,

The Añil, we call it Añil

And today he is going to put a piece
Corduroy probably

A piece of indigo or maybe
a linen to speak too

of the cotton relationship

and apart from that the development
of cotton and labor

American African within this material
that is all the days with us.

As we were

since they started

To put the list, we said like

Who are the people who have
to be there,

that perhaps many people
see the clothes, See the design,

But they don't know how many people
have been developing the graph

thinking about accessories.

How to connect an example, in this case
Willy Chavarría is presenting

some pieces that connects
with the Pachucos

And many times we tell ourselves but how
We can cover this style

that also connects with violence
because obviously

Hip Hop style all
chains and others that have

The rebellion and also as
Independent economies

I think this show has been
The first show

in the Met in which it is being done
A description like

political partner that are covering
issues that had not been covered before

and is covering from fashion,

is covering from painting,
what do you see,

How do you see it, how we
We can describe it.

There is a very important piece, for me
What is one of the first costumes
of Big Brothers

which was made for a slave

for a slave.

its owner had a suit made for him to
Upload the value when wanted to sell him

are then elements that really
Through these discussions

of the clothes, from Tailored and others
We also start talking
of bodies,

of those bodies that is not a body
of gym, but it is a body
carved by life.

are then elements
so interesting

and difficult than in some other way
Having this opportunity

to have it in a space too

that is public because the met
is a museum

that is supported by all of us
And we are 27% of the city

Latino. Then it is also a space that
feels ours and now

with the insertion of many designers
Latinos there we already have a presence
stronger

I feel very happy

and that's why we are celebrating today.

Pero como ya estaba casada con Pintor

y que él ha sido también
super encouraging.

Él nos ha dado muchísimo
seguimiento a nosotros también.

Independientemente que él tiene un
engranaje comercial increíble.

Siempre estaba tratando.

Sí, siempre venía a apoyar artistas
emergentes.

Siempre estaba super curioso de

que nosotros estamos trabajando
curatorialmente?

Entonces yo creo que eso también
fue como muy bonito

porque eso le impulsó de que estuviera
todavía más tiempo,

no solamente con nosotros,

pero también en su entorno,
en su casa, con su pareja.

Y pues ha sido super lindo
ver su crecimiento.

Ella se fue a la escuela de Sotheby's

Sí.

Y ha sido cool como que estar con
diferentes personas que, como te digo,

que de una manera u otra han
estado apoyando las artes

y también desde el fashion.

Porque muchas marcas también nuevas,
como Ulla Johnson y demás

que yo las conocí a través de ella.

Entonces ha sido como una alimentación

entre el arte, la cultura, la moda.

How are you, brother?

Very good, good to see you.

So we just met.

That's right.

We are here in the apartment.

What are you doing?

What are we doing tonight?

Well, we're going to go down to the Met

and hang out for the exhibition opening.

So I'm looking forward to it.

I haven't seen those in a while.

So this is a double gift.

She mentioned that.

She's like, "This is such a big moment."

She's like, "I want a friend."

Yeah.

And she's done a view.

That makes sense.

We've known each other

for almost a decade now.

Yeah, about eight years.

And so when we were in

DC, that's where we met.

A lot of our conversations

were around fashion and style.

And I used to gift her

clothes and style her

before we went out.

So this feels very like full circle.

Community is important, right?

That's right.

So it's like in a big

moment, here you are.

Yep.

And I will say the little

details that you were doing,

but you were doing like

brotherly family moments.

Mm-hmm.

How does that happen?

In terms of what, style or?

No, no, no, no, relationships.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

I mean, I think for me, I

just try to keep things.

I went to Howard and so

Howard is such a community,

but it feels like a family too,

even with your professors and your peers.

So I think once I left, I

treat everyone like a cousin

or like a mother or sister.

For me, yeah.

Yeah, that's right.

And so I think I extend that to,

especially after, in the last few years,

after the pandemic,

really looking forward

to community and chosen families.

So, Dossina's in there.

What are you looking forward for tonight?

Honestly, I really

don't know what to expect.

I've just seen lots

of really great photos

of the exhibition itself.

I admire the artists that

did the exhibition design,

Tarquasi Dyson.

She's an amazing black woman, artist

that like dabbles in sort

of art and architecture.

So I'm looking forward to that.

I have no idea who I'm gonna meet.

I've never really been

to the Met for outside

of just seeing art.

So this will be really cool to just to

kind of see what I see

and learn a little bit

about a different side

of the museum.

Guinching.

Yeah, that's right.

Guinching.

So yeah, I'm really

looking forward to, yeah,

to just having my eyes

open and learning a lot.

Beautiful.

Very wonderful.

Thank you for giving us

Guinching of your time.

And you gotta see him.

Hopefully as a profile.

Let's do it.

Yeah, let's do it.
