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.
