Kaisik Wong and Cockettes Original Queer SF Fashion Show Flyers

[stayhandsome]

This aint your normal Rick Owens ad full of color, this is a piece of fashion history.

 

Kaisik Wong, innovator of wearable art, had a little event in SF decades ago. Literally at the start of his career, before the Betty Davis album cover. This flyer measures over 12 inches long at it's longest. Honestly this belongs in an archive or museum. Yours for $120. The Cockettes are a well known drag group and their poster is the same price!  

 

 

 

I moved from Chicago to Venice Beach 6 years ago and started scouring the area for cultural history to support my existence as opposed to working for a board of shareholders I'll never see. Yesterday I found a record signed by Gaylord Carter, the famed organist of the silent movie era. Everything is legit. These flyers came in a box of ephemera with lots of Muhammad Speaks and Black Panther publications from the early 70's as well as psychedelic rock and concert poster design stuff. He or she who previously owned these was on point!
