Vaccine Couture

On his Instagram account @bren_bash, artist Brendan McCann writes, “It’s the First Monday in May [2021], traditionally the date of the annual Met Gala. Last year in quarantine, I made a dress with materials around my apartment inspired by the cancelled ‘About Time’ Gala. With the gala postponed again, I decided to do it again. The theme: SCIENCE. Serving you COVID vaccination couture. My ‘FAUCI’ clutch is filled with free @krispykreme donuts I got with my vaccination card. This dress is dedicated to the scientists and healthcare workers that have worked tirelessly for the last year to stop the spread & develop a vaccine. I hope I made you proud, Ms. Wintour (I’m unemployed, by the way.)”
