In the span of every few decades, there are a very select few who impact pop culture through fashion.

Since his 1978 debut, Prince’s outlandish yet somehow invariably elegant stage ensembles have like his music, taken us all on a journey through the mind of genius. This journey was one of hope as well as freedom. Hope that people everywhere can one day be free to define themselves, or not.
