The Subway Platform

Full-body editorial portrait of a 22-year-old gender-fluid femme figure standing on an underground subway platform under fluorescent ceiling tubes, three-quarter pose, hip cocked, Razr flip phone in hand. Wearing a fitted black New York Yankees baseball cap pulled low over a slicked-back low ponytail with gelled baby hairs, a tight black ribbed cotton tube top, a long red bandana tied at the hip as a belt over very low-rise wide-leg washed light-blue baggy jeans with a frayed hem dragging over white-and-silver chunky Nike Shox runners. Large gold door-knocker hoop earrings, glossy lined lips, an army of thin silver bangles on one wrist. Tiled subway wall and a graffiti tag blurred behind, cool fluorescent light. Editorial fashion-zine aesthetic. Black, bandana-red, washed-denim, silver-chrome palette. 2003 underground, waiting-for-the-N mood.
