“RuPaul’s Drag Race” crowned its first Taiwanese American drag queen Friday, breaking what the winner recently called the competition series’ “Asian curse.” Nymphia Wind — known for her obsession with the color yellow and bananas, and for her couture-like design talent — snatched the crown from fellow finalists Plane Jane and Sapphira Cristál, becoming the winner of the Emmy-winning series’ 16th season.
Yet, her art never lost its influence from her Asian heritage. On her first episode of season 16, which aired on MTV, Wind performed a traditional Asian sleeve dance for the episode’s talent show. Throughout the season she brought several self-made designs to the main stage, including a piece sewn with dried flowers that celebrated Butoh, a form of Japanese dance theater, and a showstopping red dress in honor of Lunar New Year.
