\n<\/a>Scene: Behind the scenes <\/em>and to the runway with HIM Autumn\/Winter Collection \u201cEvening Ceremony: Rituals of Love & Devotion\u201d\u00a0Presentation at New York Men\u2019s Day during Fashion Week.\u00a0Designer Pablo Leon founded the label in 2018. As\u00a0stated on the CFDA website \u2014 Pablo Leon, feeling a need to express his queer and brown identity in a climate focused on its erasure. HIM NYC characterizes the disruption of classic tailoring techniques, ideals of masculinity,\u00a0machismo, and gender constructs, creating an aesthetic that is romantically minimal and eclectic.
\nMexico born, California raised, Leon studied fashion design for just a couple years before dropping out and working for LA based designer Cynthia Vincent. He moved to New York for an opportunity with Phillip Lim, and later Carlos Campos.

\n<\/a>Scene: Mood board.\u00a0The ethereal presentation, some might consider this collection\u00a0to be gender-fluid.\u00a0Gender-fluid fashion is about embracing non-binary clothing, styles, and brands without social norms or constraints on fashion.\u00a0The presentation included the\u00a0ballet\u00a0soloist, Jovani Furlan, in the middle and a\u00a0crescent of male models performing. The atmosphere was accompanied\u00a0with\u00a0angelic\u00a0music, a\u00a0simple set, and the warm glow of candle light. Laced with a romantic theme, the garments have Catholic references\u00a0with\u00a0crosses, rosaries, and inspiration from liturgical vestments like\u00a0the alb (latin albus<\/em>, meaning white<\/em>), an ample\u00a0white garment which\u00a0is usually belted with rope. Simply the long, white linen tunic used by the ancient Romans.<\/p>\n
