Shame F/W 2026, NYFW
“Had I been nailed to the floor, it would not have reduced my scope of action. Why were things as they were? What was it in my…body that predetermined my whole life? You could scratch yourself til you bled and not find an answer. You could split your head open on the steel bars of gender and not discover the reason.”
— Paul B. Preciado, Can the Monster Speak?
SHAME’s fourth runway collection explored the fleeting distortions of normative reality brought about by queerness. Approached as a technological prosthetic for the body, a medium through which one invents, disguises, and at times frees himself from the roles imposed upon us.
