Disquiet
Inspired by queer cult classics such as “But I’m A Cheerleader,” we aim to embrace our own queerness and audaciousness. These unapologetic performances directly influenced “Disquiet’s” messaging and stylization.
The electric looks of the 1960s often bring us a feeling of nostalgia: vintage hairdos, exaggerated eye makeup, and lyrical posing. We showcase the beauty of this decade while simultaneously telling a story that would not have been published at the time, creating a juxtaposition of aesthetics and principles.
“Disquiet” is set on the stage of Queen Anne Bed and Breakfast in Nevada, Iowa. The Victorian mansion has an alluring style, filling out minds with visions of pillow fights and vintage nighties. Our digital collection is the physical representation of these fantasies.

COURTESY TO QUEEN ANNE BED & BREAKFAST
Dear reader,
Our surroundings are getting bleaker and more abysmal. Daily routines are interrupted by oversaturated messages, creating expectations of what we do and who we are. We hide who we are to protect ourselves from crossing into pariah status. Our interests, passions, and quirks get bottled up and locked away until we feel safe to share the inner parts of ourselves.
Enter into that inner world where your identity and flamboyance can sing freely. Let yourself find comfort in community, celebrating the friendship and beauty of queer identity. As the world around us uplifts conformity and hate, remember what it is that makes you special and do not let it be taken from you.
TREND Magazine brings you 'Disquiet.' This digital catalog examines the parts of us that we keep hidden, only on display in the most intimate settings. Once the protective restraint comes undone, we can explore the inner workings of our identities and passions.
Examine the hyper-pink and sickly-sweet colors dispersed within these images. They highlight a dreamscape of femininity and 1960s-inspired self-commercialization. Is it an act? Possibly a performance? Without question.
