DIY-KE STYLE 101:
SUITS AND TIES
Having taken place at The Hackney Showroom, the first instalment in our 'DIY-KE Style 101' series was Workshop 1: Suit and Tie - an exploration of Suits & Ties as queer (style) culture. A safe space to explore gender-affirming style, sustainable and cost effect ways to add to your existing suit and tie attire and to meet, discuss plus connect with your local queer community. See below our coverage of the event.
See the stunning displayed work of facilitators Cotton Dandy and Bertie Brownhill. Plus, a textile art installation from the amazing Maria Mautino that was not to be missed!
