The World AIDS Day Ball is an annual event highlighting Ballroom culture, BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+ talent, and the importance of HIV awareness, education, and linkage to care. For the third edition, Fashion Icons, we’re revisiting some of the world’s most influential fashion designers and the iconic collections that have shaped generations, past and present—featuring the Legendary DJ Byrell the Great (New York City, NY), Icon Kevin JZ Prodigy (Philadelphia, PA), Precious Basquiat (Philadelphia, PA), and our very own Bambam 007.
