Jason Summerfield Polaroid #2 - 22 March 2016
Who do you think is a good role model for
the LGBT community?

I like to write, poetry mainly. I enjoy making things

Do you think that gender fluidity is shown through out fashion?
Not as much as it could be.
Do you agree that women have more of a choice when it comes to gender fluidity compared to men in terms of clothing availability and acceptance?
accepted, yes. I feel it’s available, but not everyone feels comfortable doing it, men in particular, its not the norm, girls are ridiculed less for dressing “Tom boyish” however men Will have a harder time looking more feminine.
I feel big clothing companies have the power to push these old stereotypes to create a free, to dress how you feel, way of life.
Favourite icon drag/trans/lesbian/gay or other
I love Angela Lansbury, I don’t base my self on her, but she is fab as fuck! I have also been inspired by Leigh Bowery, one way or another.
What is your favourite movie?
First thing that came to mind was titanic.. As a child I’d watch over and over.. So I guess that.
Whose your biggest fashion inspiration?
I’m inspired by so many things, architecture, fabrics, objects, images. Too difficult to filter down to 1 person.
Favourite designer?
Hussein Chalayan ,Gareth Pugh, iris van herpen.
To name a few.
If you could be in any fashion campaign
what brand would it be for
something super fab, like Jeremy Scott/Tim walker inspired work.
Do you think gender roles exist in society?
Sure.
What do you refer to your self as in terms of gender?
Male, female, transgender or genderless.
I am male. However JasonJason (my character) is
very fluid in the way he presents himself.
Favourite colour?
Baby colours, baby blue/baby pink.
Whats your career path/ what do you do for a living?
I’m an entertainer, I work in night life, hosting events,
DJ-ing. I’m also an artist.
