Vaquera A/W '20

Accompanying the show, the brand released a statement in the form of a mini-script starring Minnelli.

Titled A Confident Fantasy, the play can be summed up like this: Minnelli is attending a Vaquera show in 2030 set in a “nightclub deep in the swamp,” as stated in the script. If you’re a Minnelli-head yourself, read through the mini-script.

Perfection is the recipe for disaster for a lot of us. You will always fail in the pursuit of perfect... but the journey is fun. - Kevin Ponce

Everyone finds zen in their work in a different way. It's a really important part, having something in your work that feels good despite what else is going on. Once you put yourself into that state of flow, a lot comes out. -Martine Ali

A lot of the time we have narratives of people, what we think they are going to be like, or a certain perception of them. For them to blow away all of those things is incredibly cool. That's my main objective and the whole point of writing, to keep the narrative going, to keep cultural criticism going, to keep history going. - Kerane Marcellus
