- Title Amazing guy shows behind the scenes of making his incredible dresses!
- Summary My full name is Christopher Fordham but professionally I'm known as ChrisSoFly and most people just call me Chris. I'm a 24 year old black queer artist and content creator from Central Florida. This video was filmed from July 22nd to July 25th in Lake Mary, FL, where I live. I knew that I wanted to create the blue piece and I really wanted to show the 'behing-the-scenes' so that my supporters can have an inside look on my creative process. People were so supportive of the video and they loved being able to see how I bring my visions to life. In this video, I am creating a fashion piece and preparing for a photoshoot in my home. I take my viewers along a journey that follows my creative process from designing the garment to building the set, giving my supporters a true inside look at how I bring my visions to life. My relationship with fashion designing began a little over one year ago when I thrifted an old sewing machine for just $15 at GoodWill. I had absolutely no sewing experience whatsoever but I was excited to give it a try and I kind of felt like finding a sewing machine for that cheap was a sign! I learned some sewing techniques from watching videos on youtube and the rest is history. I am a proud black queer artist! My passion for creating began at a very young age but it wasnt until this past year or so that I really began to express myself, freely and without fear of what others may think! Growing up, I wouldve never imagined that Id be here wearing dresses, wigs and makeup, and posting it for the world to see because where Im from you dont really see that, especially from black men. There tends to be a lot of judgment in the black community when it comes to black men being a part of the lgbtq+ community. This judgement can be so harsh that a lot of black men will rather live their entire lives hiding behind a shield of toxic masculinity than be who they truly are. Once I finally put my own fear of judgement aside and became comfortable in my skin, started dressing how I wanted and expressing myself freely, I realized that this may be my purpose. Breaking the toxic gender rules that have been passed down from generation to generation and showing everyone that boys can be princesses too! One of my main goals is to inspire people, but especially people who look like me, to be who they are, love themselves unconditionally, and not worry about the negative things that people may have to say because life is short and our happiness is one of the most important things. I am so happy that I am able to express myself and connect with others through art. For any donations, my Venmo is @ChrisSoFly22 and my cash app is $ChrisSoFly
