Catwalk categories
In addition to the dress code, the participants will have the opportunity to earn additional points for their club by walking on the five following categories:
Each category must be interpreted in reference to the queer decade attributed to your club as a dress code.
During the Queerstory ball, we will be raising funds to support the Ukrainian LGBTI+ community.
- Royalty - Be the queen, the king or any other royalty of your decade. Opulence, excess, luxury, yes. But here, attitude is the key. Command the room. Show in your walk that you are not a mere mortal but a royal...
- Blue & Yellow - The Ukrainian LGBTI+ community is still facing the terrible consequences of the war. Express your support and solidarity interpreting your decade in blue and yellow.
- Hairography - Each era is marked by a very distinctive hairstyle. Bring to the runway the most emblematic hairstyle of your decade. And twirl it, spin it, shake it, swing it, whip it...
- Revealution - If a queer decade is not complete without a revolution, a queer ball is not complete without a revealution! Impress the crowd with an epic reveal.
- Dynasty - Our clubs are our chosen families. Express all together your values, your spirit, and your style. Walk in sync, tell a story, vogue... Anything is possible! (One group per club, at least 4 people, 90 seconds max.)
