Velour will be teaming up with the label to create a “live spectacle celebrating the art of drag,” as they showcase Opening Ceremony’s new collection. There will be surprise special guests (we can’t wait!) and performances during the Sunday, September 9, show. If the bright pink and yellow color combination in Velour’s Instagram video tells us anything, it’s going to be a very, very fun show.
This is Velour’s first high-fashion collaboration, though she’s stayed busy since winning RuPaul’s Drag Race with her drag show “Nightgowns” and an annual publication called Velour: The Drag Magazine that tells the story of drag artists through visual art, poetry and interviews.
So excited to announce I'm collaborating with @openingceremony for their NYFW showcase! "The Gift of Showz" is a celebration of the art (and fashion) of drag, feat. appearances + performances from special guests (you’re gonna flip!), and the debut of OC's Spring 2019 Collection! pic.twitter.com/qwzu6AzBXX
