It's been a pleasure to get to know Savannah who heads up the fashion brand Tinc based out of SF no less. She's one of those people whose fragility and strength are in equal measure and it shows in her work. Not limited to fashion her first book is published this year by Seven Stories press out of NY whose back catalogue reads like a who's who of the literary and political front lines, from the likes of Kurt Vonegut and Howard Zinn. The book tells her story of impersonating and embodying the role of J.T.Leroy. I've also been tipped off that she's going to be introducing a line of underwear inspired by her years playing/being J.T.Leroy the infamous writer. The underwear will mimic some of the restraints needed to disguise a body and turn a silhouette from one thing to another. anthropomorphic androgyny. It should be available in collaboration with a certain store whose name I can’t mention yet.
