Overview
Part fashion lookbook, part love letter to car culture, Carrara Media presents this groundbreaking collection by journalist and photographer Victoria Scott highlighting transgender auto enthusiasts celebrating their style and their rides.
Description
In We Deserve This, published by Carrara Media, automotive journalist and photographer Victoria Scott explores the intersection of femininity, fashion, automotive culture, and trans joy in a groundbreaking collection. As a car enthusiast and a trans woman, Scott recognizes the power of personal style in one's car – and one's wardrobe. She searched for works that focused on this convergence of fashion and trans life, but after coming up empty-handed, she simply decided to create one herself. Through 21 shoots in four states over the course of two years, Scott documents a broad swath of transfeminine life in 2020s America, featuring a wide variety of women, cars, locales, and styles. Part style inspiration, part love letter to car culture, part roadmap to creating a joyfully unique self-image, We Deserve This is a rare work that auto enthusiasts, fashionistas, and trans women can all enjoy together.
