Sasha Colby
International Drag Superstar
“This Pride, I’m feeling the happy-hippie vibe. With so much going on in the world, I’m reminded why the hippie movement started: to spread love — much like what Pride does.”

Mina Gerges

“My overall vibe for both the summer and Pride is comfortable, colourful cowboy. I’m always drawn to graphic prints, and I’m loving Beyoncé’s visuals for both Renaissance and Cowboy Carter to add the cowboy flair.”

Bianca Daniela Nachtman
Designer of Gorm
“My style for Pride always involves three things: colour, comfort and captivation. I’m pulling out at least one of my favourite conversation-starter pieces I’ve collected over the years. This year, my ’40s/’50s swimmer caps are calling me.”

“Pride always ends up being a bit of a mixed bag — it’s typically hot out, so it’s a battle to wear as little as possible. I’m definitely leaning more into fashion and celebrating the body I have; summer bodies are the bodies we have now.”

Cary Tauben

“This Pride, I’m going full Cowboy Cary! It’s all about Westernwear this summer: short shorts with cowboy boots and hats. Yee-haw!”
