GARRAS: Fashion Without Compromise

GARRAS is more than a fashion show. It is a space where Trans, Gender Non-conforming, and Intersex designers take ownership of the runway, using it as a stage to share their vision and identity with the world. Each collection is a statement that's rooted in community, personal truth, and creative excellence. The energy in the room is never just about the clothes. It is about presence, about reclaiming space, and about celebrating stories that are too often pushed to the margins.

GARRAS, 2025

This year’s show will return to the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles in November, continuing its role as a platform for artistry that challenges convention and celebrates representation. For many designers, it is one of the few spaces where their work can exist without compromise, where garments can speak as boldly as their creators.

Past runways have been a blend of elegance and edge, gowns that command attention, streetwear alive with culture, and pieces that refuse to be defined by traditional categories. Every look tells a story, not in words, but in the way it moves, in the details stitched into its seams, and in the person who wears them.

GARRAS is proof of what happens when fashion reflects the people it serves. It is a place where artistry and activism walk side by side, where the runway is both a celebration and a declaration. For designers, it is an opportunity to be seen and heard in an industry that is still learning how to make room for all voices. For audiences, it is a reminder of what fashion can be when it steps beyond just trend but true representation.
