What it was like Dressing Miz Cracker from Rupaul’s Drag Race

Nelson Tavarez

           It was a cold winter evening in Washington Heights, Manhattan when I first met  Miz Cracker. She came into my studio/living room/Mom’s room/sewing room, the place where I had been working out of.  I was inmidiatly star struck; she wasn’t even famous outside the New York Drag scene, nor had I seen her act at all; but the way she came into my building in full drag on a weekday,  made me understand that I was in the presence of someone whom would go very far.  

 

    Miz Cracker never mentioned why she wanted the dresses for,  and We didn’t  have any idea that she was cast in Rupaul’s drag race season 10.   All we wanted was to make the best work possible for her to perform in, but also for us is  important  to work with different visual artist and create unique works of arts. And with Miz Cracker; we are so happy to be able to create these amazing looks that forever will be in our wall of happy projects. And the bonus; to find out later that the garments we made for her would be highlighted everywhere from the national TV show, to PAPER Magazine, Billboards, among other publications. 

 

Miz Cracker was an absolute dream to work with, she has the heart and soul of a winner and the master tongue to support her all the way through any challenge in real life.

 

 

We love you Miz Cracker.  

Here is our Miz Cracker Collection

New York City Nov 28. 2017

Nelsontavarez.com will be debuting our latest collection through our Instagram page. Here is a quick read on the inspiration and Vision for this collection from this  creative studio. A studio set in the heart of Washington Heights in Northern Manhattan New York City, there all the garments are masterly constructed to produce a perfect long lasting product. 

 

OCCULTATUM-SOL 91

Spring l Summer 2018

Questions regarding parallel universe, Time traveling,

And the combination of change,  has been pondering in on our minds. We, as creative beings often find ourselves questioning our own understanding of the norms, not for what we see but also what we experience; like experiencing a Dajavu, asking the what if’s l, questions that often seem common sense, but we soon find out otherwise; it even visualizing our lives in other forms or places, could that be the basis of our own reality.  We are often creating our sense of self through our thoughts and perceptions, using our deep unconscious to give meaning to the existencial present.  From there, we wanted to enter these realms an introduce a fantastic story into our fashion endeavors.

▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️

OCCULTATUM SOL 91 -  

An AI ecosystem which it’s only purpose is to  sustain life, encourage thought, control development, self-empowerment and the balance of energies both Female and Male.

A being, those we call “aliens” she/he poses a beauty like none other, Organic machinery,  an angelic voice saying    “Born out of  a time where the human capacity of self understanding has reach unprecedented levels; a time where the  mind is a field of infinite possiblities and resources: yet a  system created to control the mind and the development of self.

The motives will never see the light. But what we can say for sustain is that there is no going back. We have to change, we have to adjust or we have to disrupt.

We are from “the future”. Your future but in a parallel; a machine molded to serve a purpose other than being. We were hacked, deceived, blinded, but in some moments, We can close our eyes and feel the deep quiet; our cosmic being.” ———————————————————————-———————————————————————-

New York City.  July 6th 2018

Dominican Fashion Designers are the next big thing and our brand is at the center of it. We take pride in following our instincts; our vision is not compromised and we are daring with our approach.

Nelson says "This resort collection was born out of the blue. I started working on it and within a few weeks I was done. And for a moment I thought I wasn't going to happen. But like magic, we were able to put everything together and shoot the lookbooks and te video. Of course, it takes so much to do. I mean even the model almost fainted."

It very satisfying to see a client wear a piece you conceived. It doesn't matter if that client is a friend or a new customer, we feel the same kind of love a mother feels when se sees her child graduate. Here we have an amazing  friend and Top Dominican Model Rosa Gough wearing an exclusively made for her trip to Manila, Philippines.

Ysaunny Brito in Revolt of instinct

Nelson Tavarez

Top Model Ysaunny Brito has been in top of the game, from starting in Kanye West & Balmain collaboration music video Wolves; she has been making her stamp in an industry that keeps in constant evolution. I was so greatfull to be able to work with her beauty. I met Ysaunny when she just started modeling for Ossygeno; the  Dominican boutique modeling agency in charge of the Dominican Model boom headed by Sandro Guzman, she looked innocent and strong, full of contradictions that make her unique and easy to work with. Here are a few more looks from that amazing shoot.
