New-age funk meets old-school rebellion. Miss Velvet channels the unbridled attitude that first defined Leatheracci in the late ’60s, women who owned the stage as fiercely as any front-man.
Her scarlet custom suit, stitched and studded by hand in New York, revives Calvin Durham’s original language of leather: sensual, strong, and unapologetically loud.
Every seam of that look echoes the Madison Avenue studio where Durham’s “Love Creations” began, a place where artists came not just to dress, but to become. Miss Velvet’s modern performances prove that the Leatheracci legacy isn’t nostalgia; it’s continuity.
The cut, the gleam, the swagger, all handmade, all alive.
