Dorian Corey was a prominent black fashion designer in the 1970s and 80s. She was drag
queen who sought to find a way to bring the drag queen style to what we know of it today: big, bold, and beautiful. She was infamously known for using feathers, beads, and sequins in her designs. As result, these designs inspired other women’s fashion that are seen as big and bold on the runway today. Her message was that it’s ok to create a story with your fashion no matter who you are and if you are performing in front of the crowd or not.
