Creative director, Stylist, and Editor in Chief of Cakeboy Magazine, Sean Santiago is a breath of fresh air in this often stale world of fashion. Sean brings back the playful imagination in their work while all the while never shying away from making It sexy. I remember the first time I met Sean. It was at an opening in NYC. There stood Sean, in high waisted silk trousers and platform pumps sprinkling magic behind every footstep towards me. Kindness, humor, and extreme talent pouring out of every hole. I feel so lucky to know such amazing humans, out there with a voice, sharing their vision, and collaborating to make a the world a more interesting place.
