Oh and the peacock feathered suit was killer. See it, and our other favorite looks from backstage at the presentation, below.
“Ludovic de Saint Sernin’s return to Fire Island was both intimate and intentional. We chose 231 Bay Walk – the former home of our mentor, friend, collector and queer legend Gil Neary – as the setting for this collaboration. Gil helped shape the aesthetic and social spirit of Fire Island Pines in its most iconic era, serving as a gracious and giving host who taught countless newcomers what it means to truly live here. By situating the LdSS campaign within this home, we honoured a lineage of sensual elegance, erotic freedom and archival intention. It was a homecoming – for Ludovic, for Gil’s memory, and for a timeless Fire Island aesthetic where the body is art, and the future wears very little,” say Marc R. Christensen and Nicholas Ammaturo, co-founders of Queer Culture Arts Foundation.
