3 Queer Fashion Icons Who Wear What They Want & Slay It!

Fashion and queer fashion icons are strongly entwined. Clothes are just clothes; however, it is up to the one wearing them to make them the best tool for self-expression. Makeup is another powerful way to add to the overall look. There is no clear definition or set pattern that is being followed. Clothes, accessories, and make-up are ways to express one’s individuality. Each person has their own take & it is precisely what fashion and style are all about – individualism.

With more and more brands and labels showcasing gender-neutral collections. However, it only aids every individual to express themselves the way they want to and queer fashion icons are no exception. 

Here are some queer fashion icons whose sartorial choices and makeup game are so on-point, that whether you are a member of the queer community or an ally, you will be compelled to stop, stare & be in complete awe.
