Manila Luzon releases "Necropolis" for Fashion Week
Thu. September 5, 2013 8:41 AM
In line with NYC 2013 Fall Fashion Week, drag icon Manila Luzon stars in the film, "Necropolis", a haunting stroll through the Glasgow Necropolis. On her recent trip to Scotland, Luzon collaborated with designer Gary Wilson and photographer Tony Webster of BigBad Llama. Calling on the spirit of Madonna herself, the video is set to a cover of "A Beast Within"—a reading from the Book of Revelation.
"I was in the UK, so I wanted 'The London Look', which, if anyone has seen those Rimmel ads, means a gap in my teeth," Manila explains. "Pumping through a cemetery with a gap in my teeth and big blond hair, I could have channeled either Sharon Needles or Madonna...I chose Madonna!"
Wilson has worked with fashion giants Alexander McQueen and Gareth Pugh, as well as clothing celebrities Nicki Minaj, Azealia Banks, and Shystie. This Scottish designer dresses Manila in a mixed, paneled-leather jacket made from goat, pig, cow, and lamb leathers.
Adding film to his repertoire, noted Irish photographer Tony Webster, better known as BigBad Llama, combines the fashion, the drag, and the cemetery with his ghostly sense of voyeurism into a sexy, B-movie horror flick.
