David Estrada — the OOTD as performance art

The outfit check is the most exhausted format on the internet. David Estrada, a Parsons student, has been quietly mutating it into performance art. He films what he wears in university bathrooms, layered in black, contorted, sped up, with no audio at all. Viewers have compared him to a spider, a roach circling the drain, even a sleep paralysis demon. He's been posting since Vine in 2013, but the format only locked in over the past year. He calls it "a really cool way for me to archive what I'm wearing." His fashion Mount Rushmore: Kawakubo, Demna, Shayne Oliver, Simone Rocha. The taste tracks.
