Get Fab! Dress Up Like Your Favourite Thai Drag Queen With These Fashion Brands

Having an aesthetically outlandish fashion sense and exceptional looks are what make a drag artist a queen. In the American reality competition television series “RuPaul's Drag Race,” contestants flaunt their best angles and frames, iconic runway walks, versatile looks, passionate advocacies, and more.

Aside from their impressive runway moments, drag queens paved the way for the LGBTQ+ community to gain more visibility by breaking down barriers and advocating for social change.

If you love to sashay and dress in drag, here are some fashion brands that will help you slay like a real drag queen.
