Queen Yupele

Fashion Royalty

I have long been captivated by the art of burlesque - its playfulness, its raw grace, and the delicate interplay between illusion and reality. In 2024, I was fortunate enough to make my stage debut at the inaugural Black Burlesque Festival in London.

​

Prior to that, my focus had been on photographic work, the still image, but out on stage is a world where every gesture is born anew, and each performance draws its breath from the crowd. It is an exchange between creator and spectator. A work of art, alive and breathing.

​

As for my performing style: Standing at a statuesque six feet, I command the stage with a regal elegance, evoking the grandeur and rebellious spirit of the '90s supermodels. Boldness and daring reverberates with every step I take!

 

Long live THE QUEEN.
