Just Friends: Lil Nas X + Christian Cowan

Out: This collection is so much fun. How did you begin the creative process?

Christian Cowan: We first collaborated at the 2019 Video Music Awards and it was sick. Then when it came to Fashion Week, I wanted to do a collab with someone. It had to be Lil Nas, because I’m so inspired by so much that you do. You’re not only blending these music genres but you’re also a proud trailblazer, which is everything we live for. It felt very natural on my end, and then we just created. I felt like we didn’t hold back and we had you in pink glitter and just serving all the different fantasies.

100 [percent]. I feel like with the shoot, it wasn’t super held back. I hate when everything is all held back.
