PHOTOESSAY: Queer Fashion Week 2016

“We are ready to showcase and embrace the systematically overlooked and unite us all in one space.”

This past week Oakland, CA was hit with Queer Fashion Week. It’s building a platform for designers, artists and models of all levels to strut their stuff and make a statement while doing it. I had the pleasure of running around the venue with a camera.

Just sit back and swoon over all these beautiful humans.

  1. I love it! Wish I coulda been there..almost tried to major in fashion design but I didn’t feel like I fit. Annnnd the process of sewing makes me panicky, that too.
