Welcome
As part of an analysis and celebration of the ways in which art is utilized as visual activism to create positive sociopolitical change for LGBTQI communities, VERGE produced the largest queer New York Fashion Week runway show executive produced by dapperQ and in collaboration with bklyn boihood, Posture Magazine, and DYDH Productions. The four entities formed the VERGE partnership to sponsor a total of eight independent designers whose work is systemically rooted in notions of gender nonconformity and its intersections with race, ethnicity, and culture. Featured collections were selectively chosen to embody the enigma of a vastly diverse aesthetic that is simultaneously chaotic and orderly. The viewer is invited to explore the question “What is queer style?” Designers included: MARKANTOINE, FONY, Jag & Co., SUNSUN, SAGA NYC, Lactic, KQK, and NotEqual.
