On Friday night, Bobbi Salvör Menuez, Whitney Mallett, and quori Theodor hosted a fundraiser vintage sale above Chinatown at lighting design studio Blue Green Works, benefiting the Trans Justice Funding Project. The event featured poetry and literary readings, with designer donations from Lena Waithe, Pedro Pascal, Chloë Sevigny, Julia Fox, Tommy Dorfman, Conner Ives, and Eckhaus Latta, plus archival pieces from co-organizer John Mollet's personal collection including Hermès and a Jean Paul Gaultier ballet costume. Guests included artists, writers, and photographers such as Collier Schorr, K8 Hardy, and Erin Markey.
This event matters because it merges fashion, art, and philanthropy to support trans justice, highlighting how creative communities mobilize for social causes. The involvement of notable figures from the art and fashion worlds underscores the growing intersection of cultural capital and grassroots fundraising, while the Trans Justice Funding Project receives critical financial support for trans-led organizing.
