Consani admits her MO for her first Fashion Awards was to just feel gorgeous. Really gorgeous. “This is an event where you want to make sure that you’re wearing the clothes and the clothes aren’t wearing you,” notes the 21-year-old California native, who swears by journalling to get in the zone. “It’s more about the feeling, because if you feel good, you’ll inevitably look good. I think the more you focus on just face masks and beauty routines, it becomes high stress and high stakes. I really just like to relax and pretend that I’m not doing anything important. Yesterday, I got sushi…”
Still @captincroook – the TikTok profile that shot Consani to fame during a bout of quarantine-induced boredom – surely has some quippy content in mind for her Royal Albert Hall debut. “You’ll see, girl, you’ll see…” she teases. “I know everybody went a little bit more chic, and I’m not saying this isn’t chic, but you’ll see…” I tell her I can’t wait. “Babe, I can’t wait to see what you’re wearing!” fires back the It-model, who, despite her stratospheric journey thus far, is sweet to the core. “I heard this party is the best party…”
While you can’t help but hope that the Fashion Awards lives up to Consani’s expectations, she’s already got one eye on tomorrow. “I want to do my best and feel my best and hopefully see more trans women like me, or similar to me in terms of identity, working in the same spaces that I am,” she asserts. “You’ve always got to think ahead.”
