Imagine the style of New York Fashion Week, infuse it with the energy of a ballroom extravaganza with hundreds of guests and models representing the community, and you might get a sense of Queer AF, an annual fashion-art spectacular that earns its mantle as the “Queer Met Gala of Massachusetts.” This year’s theme? “I’m With the Banned.” An unapologetic response to censorship of queer art across the country. Proceeds supported Love Your Labels and their programs, including Threads, a fashion education and self-discovery initiative. More: LoveYourLabels.org
