Clothes encounter

“I usually run around in leggings and workout shirts, mostly because I’m an aerialist… [Today] I was very matchy-matchy. I even matched my earrings to my socks… This hat I got from a garage sale about two years ago. The girl had lots of hats, and I think I got three or four. I probably have, like, 25 hats and headdresses.”

—Elena Brocade, an aerialist who lives in Humboldt Park
