"Black Is... represents a way of acknowledging the resilience, creativity, and determination of Black people in the face of systemic racism and oppression. It is an inspiration and a source of pride for the House Ballroom and the global Black community."
Black Is… is the 15th Anniversary of the House of Garcon. On 11/11/2023, we will celebrate the Black community’s rich culture, diverse style, and history. From Afrocentric designs to modern couture and innovation that Black people have brought to the world.
Black Is… is an homage to Black culture, highlighting our community’s creativity, resilience, and pride.
Come fashionably dressed for an unforgettable night of style and artistry, as we celebrate the legacy and future of House Ballroom brilliance. Think of an Afro-Centric Met Gala.
