"Hernández's Thom Browne look is meant to represent the classical body. And it carries more meaning than just that for Hernández. 'We added a little something to represent my background. There's an azabacha stone, which is something that my mom used to put on me when I was a baby for protection, and then a larimar, which is a Dominican stone.'"
"'I used to wear a blazer all the time when I would do stand-up, because I looked up to the comedians that I saw when I was really young. I would watch Johnny Carson, Jerry Seinfeld, and Freddie Prinze Sr.-and they would all wear suits to do stand-up.'"
Marcello Hernández, not traditionally a fashion enthusiast, is learning about style as he prepares for the Met Gala. He reflects on the importance of dressing well, recalling how his parents dressed him for travel. Hernández's outfit features a double-breasted jacket and trousers, reminiscent of his early stand-up days. The Gala's theme, Costume Art, connects to his look, which symbolizes the classical body. He incorporates personal elements, including stones representing his heritage and a chain in memory of his late uncle.
