Meet the 10-Year-Old Drag Prodigy Who Just Stole the Show at Gypsy Sport
The cast of characters who walked the runway at Gypsy Sport was as excitingly varied as it gets, with everyone from a pair of blonde-haired twins in chainmail dresses to the disco singer Shamir in a ripped and tailored black and white look. But perhaps the most unexpected model of the evening (hell, of all Fashion Week) was Desmond, a 10-year-old LGBTQIA activist and self-professed “drag kid,” who loves Diana Ross and practices what he calls “kinderdrag.” Rocking an oversize black blazer with Elizabethan flourishes, Desmond had as much confidence as a seasoned supermodel, his cheeks rouged and hair slicked across his forehead.
