📖 STORY: STRIKE A POSE

A Legacy in Heels. A Revolution on the Floor.

⸻

In a city that never stops spinning — under fluorescent halos and mirrorball moons — they gather.

Not on red carpets or designer runways, but in repurposed basements, community centers, and cathedral-like warehouses reborn with purpose. Here, beneath the pulse of house music and the watchful eyes of chosen family, a different kind of fashion week unfolds. One not bought, but lived.

This is the ballroom. This is where you vogue.

⸻

Born from necessity, raised in rebellion, the ballroom scene gave queer Black and Latinx youth a place to become the legends the world refused to see. Every pose? A protest. Every walk? A rewrite of history. The House of Xtravaganza. The House of LaBeija. Names whispered like spells across decades.

In 1990, a pop icon gave that underground glow a global mirror — when Madonna released “Vogue”, the world turned its head. And though she borrowed the light, it was ballroom that lit the flame.

⸻

This collection is the flame.

“Strike A Pose” is not a tribute — it’s a continuation. It’s the stiletto stepping where stilettos were never allowed. It’s the sneaker built for the spin. It’s the boot that kisses gender lines goodbye. Satin, chrome, glitter, latex — this is fabric as defiance. Every model is a portal: to Garbo’s mystery, to Monroe’s softness, to the steel resilience of queens with nothing but a dream and a runway made of linoleum.

The shoes don’t just look like glamour — they feel like freedom.

⸻

Whether you’re a dancer in the Bronx, a dreamer in Seoul, or a stylist in Paris, these aren’t just shoes — they’re statements. When you slip into them, you don’t just wear fashion.

You wear a movement.

You strike a pose.

And the world watches.
