This ’00s superstar remains relevant in the 2020s
What fashion image sums up the summer 2021 for you? For me, it’s Omahyra Mota—defiant, proud, secure in her skin—photographed by Renell Medrano for Louisa Ballou’s pre-fall lookbook. The colorful, leave-little-to-the-imagination clothes speak toof strong and sexy dressing for women by women.“We’ve always loved Omahyra’s androgynous energy and individuality throughout her career,” said Ballou, who in casting Mota also tapped into the aughts mania of the moment.
Mota remembers that when she was about 15, her mother picked up a disposable camera and took pictures of her in a bathing suit. Measurements were added to the back and with a “nothing to lose” attitude, says Mota today, the photos were sent “literally to every agency in New York City.” Just one recipient called back: George Speros, then at Boss Models. After that, Mota explains, “everything happened really fast. I feel like it was my time to come in.
Then there’s the added spark of her androgynous look. “When I wear suits on the runway, when I’m doing a men’s show... I am not thinking that I look like a boy. [What] I am thinking the whole time is that I am just bringing the most in strength and expression; my eyes, the way I’m looking, the way I’m moving, it’s not more like a boy, it’s just strength, flavor, sauce, like swag.” From the beginning, Mota adds, “For me, my mind sounded like strong women.”Artwork by Omahyra Mota.
