Billy Porter and I spent a couple days together in prep for him riding Coach’s first float in the NYC Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Shooting the parade was quite surreal. It started with going to NJ to the Macy’s warehouse in late October to see the float being crafted and painted amongst the other new floats. Looking at the history on the walls, it finally set in. This iconic parade. Prior to the parade, Billy and I shot at The Mark Hotel in some Coach looks with some Rexy toys. Once arrived on Central Park West, the energy was contagious. It truly was an experience I won’t forget.

Check Billy’s posts for more outtakes from the parade.

It's not everyday one gets to ride the chicest 🦖 in town at the @macys 93rd Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade. Take a look at Rexy In The City. The very first ever @coach float.
