Groundbreaking fashion designer Kaisik Wong met Steven Arnold in the mid 1960s, when Kaisik was still a teenager. The two remained close friends and collaborators, including work on films and stage plays together, until Kaisik’s passing due to complications from AIDS in 1989.
This unseen photograph, taken by Steven Arnold in 1986, features Kaisik in his own fashion. ____________________________________________________ #stevenarnold #kaisikwong #americanart #whatisrememberedlives #fashion #blackandwhitephotography #newmythology #dancer #laartists #1980s #80s #aidsmemorial
