In an interview with Dazed Digital, Andrew Ly of Quill and Clownwhite explained the inspiration behind “Polet”, the film version of his latest collection:
To me fashion is an installation of the body and a mood. Whether it be masculine, feminine, androgynous, powerful or what ever it may be. I really wanted my character to be a little bit of it all (fem, masc, both) as you can see he is very powerful looking and very strong but at the same putting on a chiffon kimono style dress on him did not make him look feminine but touches of it and still maintaining his identity. Playing with gender and the illusion of what man/woman should be in a stereotypical way is not interesting to me. Mixing it all was a great challenge and attractive.
