Le Lotto

A full-length studio portrait of a person in avant-garde fashion against a vibrant pink background. The individual has short, dark hair with blunt bangs and heavy, dramatic, dark eye makeup. They wear a high, white structural collar that covers the lower half of their face. Their outfit consists of a multilayered, deconstructed black and white blazer worn over a crisp white button-down with oversized cuffs, paired with bright magenta wide-leg trousers.

A full portrait of the model in deconstructed tailoring vest from the previous image, facing right. The long, black sleeve from the jacket panel attached to back princess seam is now fully extended and blowing straight out to the left, parallel to the ground, creating a dynamic sense of motion and length against the bright pink background. The rest of the outfit and the side vents in the magenta pants remain the same.

A dynamic studio portrait of a person against a bright pink background, featuring their vibrant outerwear piece. The model, with short dark hair, bold smoky eye makeup, and bold red lipstick, is in a walking pose. They wear a long, structured tail coat in emerald green with oversized, blue cuffs and a large, structured blue collar, accented with a gold button at the front. Underneath, a skirt is color-blocked in hot pink and red. Pink metallic heeled sandals with ankle straps complete the look.

Le Lotto draws inspiration from lô tô, a vibrant Vietnamese art form merging bingo with theatrical performance. The art of lotto singing is not only widely recognized for its rhythmic verses, but it also serves as a medium for transgender people to escape the harsh reality and live true to themselves. It is precisely this duality—both glamour and sorrow—that has merged both humanity and art.
