Born This Way Fashion Show 2016 Taking Place in New London
"Diversity on the Runway" with Carson Kressley is a GLBTQ youth fundraiser.
Emmy-award winning Carson Kressley brings his wit, charm and style to New London where thirty models, many in drag, walk the runway in “Old Hollywood” style to support OutCT's Youth Program.
Carson Kressley was best known from his years as the fashion expert on Bravo’s Queer Eye where he was one of the show’s “Fab Five”. Carson has many upcoming and current projects including Logo TV’s RuPaul’s Drag Race which premiered on March 7th, NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice and his new book Does This Book Make My Butt Look Big? A Cheeky Guide to Feeling Sexier in Your Own Skin and Unleashing Your Personal Style both coming later this year.
Come mingle with this star and be entertained by dancing, drag, and fashion!
