"Fashion absolutely adores actress Hari Nef, and with good reason. Aside from her angular, androgynous face, Nef is also spearheading the swelling transgender movement so that one day it won’t be called a “movement,” as if it’s some fleeting trend. An unstoppable force in New York this week, Nef proudly opened NYFW on the VFiles catwalk wearing a “Girl Power” hoodie; she kept it cute on the set of Degen’s whimsical presentation, joined Adam Selman’s crew of ’60s bad girls and supported rising designer Vejas at his Johannes Vogt Gallery showcase. We caught up with the illusive “It Girl,” whatever that really means, and talked about all things Fashion Week."

- On fashion's supposed fixation on the trans movement: "Fashion is having a moment with gender fluidity, but not necessarily transness. Designers are presenting masculinity as an option for women and vice versa. That’s not ontology, that’s aesthetics, but transness goes deeper than that. Transness is not a destination."
- On the potential benefit of trans inclusion in fashion: "I think trans visibility is generally a positive thing and fashion could prove to be a fabulous platform for us. I’m uncertain as to whether ‘what’s now’ will become integrated into the norms, or merely be written off as ‘last season.’ Ultimately, I want to see trans folks taking their place in the fashion world in a way that doesn’t feel like such a big deal."
- On her favorite designers of the moment: "I’m so proud of my friend Vejas, who showed in New York for the first time this season. His casting was directional, the imagery urgent and the clothes seriously lux. Timo Weiland and Creatures of the Wind offered drama that didn’t feel loud. Altuzarra was sexy as fuck. Also, I’m Goth girl at heart, so Alexander Wang struck a chord inside me that hasn’t been plucked since My Chemical Romance dropped Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge in 2004."
