Why Be Normal When You Can Stand Out?
Janelle Monae wore a jacket by Dutch fashion label Maison the Faux for her New York Premiere of Dirty Computer, on Monday.
The look was styled by Alexandra Mandelkorn, transforming the jacket into a chic mini dress, complete with white ankle boots and pillbox hat.
The look was originally shown on the runway during Maison the Faux’s SS18 “Fauxmosapien” show at New York Fashion Week.

‘The Fictional House’, a rough translation of MAISON the FAUX, is rooted in a great sense of humour and self-mockery, combined with a deep love of fashion.
MAISON theFAUX represents a new outlook on masculinity and femininity creating “Humanwear”.
