More than 70 LGBTQ models and eight designers took over the Brooklyn Museum on Thursday night for dapperQ’s ninth annual queer fashion show, 'Presents Nine,' coinciding with the start of New York Fashion Week. Hundreds of attendees crowded the perimeter of the runway, cheering, chanting — and sometimes screaming — as models strutted across the stage.
Stefa Marin Alarcon, a model for designer Auston Bjorkman’s transmasculine collection who goes by the stage name STEFA, described the atmosphere as both “radical” and “wholesome.” STEFA walked down the runway to the tune of “New York Groove” by Ace Frehley in a long-sleeve, loose-fitted jersey sprawled with the phrase “Trans I Am” and depictions of traditionally hypermasculine cars printed on their shirt and shorts.
