SALACIOUS BY SAILEY WILLIAMS @ FASHION WEEK
ROADTRIP TO BERKSHIRE COUNTY, M.A
NUOVO MAGAZINE PARTY @CIELO
VOGUE EVOLUTION ON MTV'S A.B.D.C
"Assembled in early 2008, Vogue Evolution aims to be in the forefront of bringing vogue and house/ball culture to main stream media. Vogue Evolution comprises of some of New York’s most respected and creative figures in the House/Ballroom scene...Vogue Evolution has since moved beyond just a dance company to become an envoy that stands committed to effectively changing the lives of the LGBT community through the art of dance. Vogue Evolution works to empower Black and Latino youth around self-value, while educating the community on HIV/AIDS awareness, and encouraging the importance of getting tested now."
Nuovo Magazines Viewers first met Vogue Evolution at our recreation of the Vogue video which debuted June 1st, shot by Associate Editor Sailey Williams. V.E is a very dedicated & talented group, and one of the 1st to step up and take ownership of their style and dance techniques. I.e the "5000" vs "Dip" situation. Since the days of Madonna their culture and history have been misused and kept in the dark.
