I've just done an art project on drag queens and love the extravagance of everything typical drag queens represent. So I thought I'd make a thread dedicated to Drag style and the influences that can be seen in catwalk fashion, make up looks used by designers similar to that of a drag queen's.

Post pictures of drag queens, drag-like fashion, all things 'simple fabulous and darling', drag make up etc...you know the drill

Unfortunately my computer is really slow...I won't be able to post as many images as I'd like...but I'll try my best to start it off...

I'll post some catwalk stuff too...just give me some time to find pics

Christian Dior Fall 04 again...
all the over emphasis in shape in that collection was quite 'drag queen' imo

That's all I can seem to fit on my computer for now...I was trying to find some of thierry muglers stuff, I thought alot of the drama in his clothes was very drag, the big shoulders etc...

Not really drag queen, but almost the reverse: more like mainline fashion shown on the opposite gender. (IOC, Benjamin Cho) Pics from style.com.

I'd check out Jean Paul Gaultier on Firstview .

Gaultier did a collection with his male models as female icons , eg Marlene Dietrich etc ,

oh that's great thanks kit! I've been trying to find thierry mugler collections for a while...I saw a video of one of his collections a while back...and all the acting involved in his catwalk was so 'drag', different from many of the walk up and down catwalks of now it really reflected the clothing....I'll check out the gaultier and galliano stuff too...thanks

wow your art project sounds amazing, so random but i think it really worked its such a good idea. I bet your the first to do a project on this subject.
Great thread im googling now for images ill add some later on ....

It didn't work out as well as it could have due to other stuff taking up my time. the title for it initially was 'concealed and revealed' but then due to a change of circumstance I had to adapt it to 'viewpoints' title, which I did easily enough
