Hey everyone! I am so thrilled to share my first piece for NYMAG’s The Cut! It’s about a 5-year-old style icon named Alonso Mateo, who I first interviewed here last August (with mother Luisa Fernanda Espinosa)! Check out the piece here on The Cut! So much hard work and love went into this piece!! Special thanks to Charlotte Cowles and my editor Kurt Soller at The Cut. My former fashion writing teacher Tracey Lomrantz Lester and my wonderful mentor Constance White! Thank you to Luisa and little Mateo, it was so great video chatting and interviewing you both! Mateo, you are a star!!! And, as always, special thanks to my boyfriend, Obi.
