Isabella Lovestory: “I can be completely naked and still feel like I’m doing drag”
The perreo pop princess and bicon discusses her ‘Fashion Freak’ aesthetic, representing the queer community and flipping reggaeton’s gender script.
WORDS MIKELLE STREET PHOTOGRAPHY ADAM MARTIN STYLIST SHAHAN ASSADOURIAN HMUA ISABELLA LOVESTORY COVER DESIGN JACK ROWE Isabella Lovestory is a creation all her own.
The Honduran-born artist who spent time in the United States and then Montreal growing up, has fashioned herself into a pop star of her own imagining.
After initially idolising the likes of Britney Spears and Gwen Stefani, Lovestory has built her own image as an aesthetic-forward (have you heard “Fashion Freak” or “Kitten Heels”?), sexually empowered and femme-centric voice disrupting the often narrow sound of reggaeton with a dose of experimental pop.
