Dan Levy

The Schitt's Creek star teamed with LOEWE to map out this puffy suit. Dan Levy wrote on Instagram that it was "built upon an image of two men kissing" by artist David Wojnarovicz, which is named after a "homophobic cartoon." He shared, "But rather than feed on the message of hate, we wanted to celebrate queer love and visibility - acknowledging how hard artists like Wojnarovicz had to fight, while also presenting the imagery in a way that offered a hopeful message."
