Hi Femme!: Can you talk a bit about how you define queer femme style and what makes it transgressive?

Peche: There is no one way to define my queer femme style. I like to experiment, mix, and match between men’s and women’s clothing. Being my most authentic self in the face of pressures to conform makes my style transgressive.
