No one throws a better party than Ladyfag. This year, to kick off NYC Pride, the legendary nightlife fixture outdid herself, hosting the first annual LadyLand Festival in the warehouses of Bushwick, Brooklyn. The inaugural bash featured an impressive lineup of LGBTQ+ performers including Aquaria, Kim Petras, SOPHIE, SSION, Tommy Genesis, CupcakKe, and Eve. But just as impressive as the performers were the looks festivalgoers showed up in, which ranged from fresh-off-the-runway Vaquera to impressive DIY ensembles. Here, a closer look at those and more.
