This year's pride in Vienna marks a special occasion for me. I hadn't covered a fashion show in a while and I honestly thought those days were done for me, but when Nicolas Dudek asked me to cover his special pride collaboration fashion show at SO/Vienna, I decided it was time to come photograph at least one more show (never say never right). This celebration of individuality and artistry featured Dudek’s bold designs, showcasing why he is quickly making a name for himself in Vienna’s fashion scene. Models of all ages, including renowned fashion icons, drag queens, and kings, lit up the runway with their captivating presence. Among them were local stars Liam Choclit, Pandora Nox, and Philisha Conditioner, each of whom I had the pleasure of photographing in an intimate portrait session. Together, we embraced the power of expression, inclusivity, and pride that made this event so unforgettable.
