MUST l KNOW
Designer Nik Kacy draws on form, function and a big personality to foster a textured sense of style. By Donnyale Ambrosine
ashion and accessory designer Nik Kacy has a message for cultural in-betweeners: Be unapologetically YOU. Kacy is no stranger to being an outsider because of their many differ ences. (As a transmasculine individual who identifies as non-binary, the designer uses the pronouns they and them.) Though these specific words don’t fall from their lips, their message is clear and unmistakable: “Asian, didn’t speak English, immigrant, born in a body I didn’t relate to, lesbian, butch, trans and finally, non-binary and feeling the most ME I’ve ever felt,” Kacy writes in a particularly salient post on Facebook.
