Atlanta Black Pride Fashion Show to Feature Queer Designer The Thrift Jesus
On September 2, Atlanta Black Pride is hosting a fashion show showcasing local Black queer designers along with local LGBTQ Greek organizations.
The show, which is chaired by new board member and friend of Georgia Voice Tiana Clay, promises to be a diverse and incredible event. “This fashion show is going to rock your socks off,” Amber Moore, the COO of Atlanta Black Pride, told Georgia Voice. “You’re going to see transgender people, gay men, lesbians, studs.
You’re going to see a reflection of that in the artists and designers, in the crowd, in the entertainment, in the models.” One of the featured designers in the show is Alexandria, more commonly known as The Thrift Jesus.
She is a self-taught designer who has been in the industry for the past three years. She participated in last year’s fashion show and she said it was such an encouraging and supportive atmosphere that she happily accepted the offer to be in it for a second time.
