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.
