Abstract

During the height of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, Doris Domoszlai-Lantner, a New York-based fashion historian and archivist, and Anna Zsófia Kormos, a Budapest-based designer and fashion researcher, created QUARANTINE S/S20: an Instagram-based digital archive that documents garments and ensembles worn during the initial first wave lockdown and the subsequent months. Frank New, a visual merchandiser and stylist, participated in the QUARANTINE S/S20 project, documenting his experiences with fashion and the ways in which it intersects with queerness and the LGBTIQ community throughout the pandemic. Domoszlai-Lantner and Kormos interviewed New to gain a deeper understanding of the themes, questions and issues the New York multihyphenate addressed in his submissions to the project, as well as those he posted about on his social media accounts. In response, New interviewed Domoszlai-Lantner and Kormos to find out more about the project, its goals and milestones, and what they have learned about the fashion system during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
