Drag Race Stars Bimini And Tayce Took Over London Fashion Week
The U.K. season two alums werked the fashion world this week.
It appears London Fashion Week has figured out what we already know: Rupaul’s Drag Race UK season two alums Tayce and Bimini Bon Boulash are it and they showed why they’re stars on the catwalk.
The two both walked in British designer Richard Quinn’s spring 2022 show, which included Kate Moss in the audience and proved to be a stand-out moment in Bimini’s life. The drag queen-turned-model shared a video of the moment they strutted by the supermodel, who smiled and nodded approvingly. “NOT ME WALKING FOR [Richard Quinn] IN FRONT OF MY ABSOLUTE ICON KATE MOSS,” they captioned the video. “I’m pinching myself. What an absolute moment in my life. I can’t believe how amazing these past few days of fashion week has been.”
In a separate post, Bimini shared how much participating in London Fashion Week meant to them. “A little queer kid who never thought they’d get an opportunity to do things like this is walking in Fashion week. I’ve had the most amazing time and I feel like all my dreams are coming true.”
Tayce also shared how meaningful the experience was to them on Instagram. “I remember the days when I’d go from agency to agency (and I mean ALOT of agencies) only to be rejected. But 9 years later, to walk in the official London fashion week a few times means the absolute world to me and is a very full circle moment,” Tayce recalled in her caption. “Never give up on what you want to do in life hounds. even if it seems out of reach, u got this.”
Tayce also had the opportunity to walk in the Osman Yousefzada show and it was an “absolute DREAM,” she wrote.
Bimini and Tayce have been taking the fashion world by storm since signing with Next Model Management and Models 1, respectively, in the spring. For Bimini it was validation for their beautiful, non-binary identity. “This is huge for non-binary representation in fashion and I’m so thankful that want to take this chance with me!!”
Tayce shared that getting signed was a true full-circle moment. “When I was 16 I took it upon myself to come up to London and see some agencies, 8 to be exact over 2 days. [Every] single one of them rejected me, saying I was too young, too skinny and not ready,” she shared on Twitter.
After werking fashion week, one thing is abundantly clear: these two queens are just getting started.
