  • i-D meets five of American ballroom culture’s most esteemed mothers at the CÎROC Iconic Ball at KOKO in Camden, London.
    Flown in for the event, held to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Pride movement in the UK, we see Stasha Sanchez, Sinia Alaïa, Jusss Kelly, Devine and Lola take to the runway to proudly represent the House of Alaïa and the House of Gorgeous Gucci.
    They go on to discuss the ballroom scene as a vital source of community, self-love, sex and sensuality, trans power and liberation, and blazing a trail for generations of queens to come.
    A global platform for emerging talent, i-D celebrates fashion, culture, individuality and youth.
    CÎROC Iconic Ball is supporting notaphase.org in its work to create safe and affirming spaces for the Trans and Gender Non-Confirming (GNC) community nationwide.
    Shot at Sweeties Bar, The Standard and KOKO, Camden

    I've met multiple of these women and through dating, and once I went to my first Ball I came to my conclusion that the skills developed here outclass the skills gained in most other communities and this is from a military Vet.
    I don't walk, and won't due to my need for privacy, but the skills I've gained through hanging with the community has helped me in life dramatically.
