More than a runway: GARRAS empowers the TGI community

GARRAS stands for Groundbreaking Activism Redirecting & Reforming All Systems. Isn’t just a fashion show - it’s a movement. This annual event transforms the trans, gender nonconforming, and intersex (TGI) community and their allies into high-fashion icons.

But the impact goes beyond the catwalk. GARRAS raises funds for The TransLatin@ Coalition, fueling our vital work for the TGI community.  This event is a platform for TGI folks and their allies to showcase their talents, leadership, and activism.
