Orville Peck
"I'm a neoclassic cowboy who feels best in something classic or vintage mixed with a creative, modern twist. When I get dressed in the morning, it's usually something really comfortable because if I have to perform that evening, it's probably gonna be something really extra. I love cowboy hats and sheer fabrics."
--Orville Peck, 35, musician. Between his self-produced debut album, Pony; his 2020 EP, Show Pony; and his sophomore album, Bronco (sensing a theme here?), he's making country music gay, and thank god.
Kade Gottlieb
"My favorite designers tell a story through their collections, and when people see my drag, that is exactly what I want: for them to see the journey I am on, good and bad. As a trans man, and with all the antitrans and anti-drag legislation happening currently, this is what I am fighting for. I want every piece of art I put out there to show that journey."
-Kade Gottlieb, aka Gottmik, 26, makeup artist, drag performer, and author. He co-wrote The T Guide, discussing the ins and outs of being transgender, with friend Gigi Gorgeous. He also co-hosts the podcast No Gorge with fellow RuPaul's Drag Race alum Violet Chachki.
Vico Ortiz
"I genuinely never considered myself as someone with a sense of fashion. For the longest time, it felt elusive-something I was close to understanding but wasn't really getting. Which makes sense because it wasn't until I came out when I disregarded how society wanted me to look that I began allowing myself to explore what felt good on my body. Now I adorn this vessel in ways that make me feel handsome and beautiful."
-Vico Ortiz, 31, actor, drag king, and activist. They're making strides for nonbinary representation in Hollywood with roles as pirate Jim in Our Flag Means Death and women's center volunteer Tova on The Sex Lives of College Girls.
