Last Friday, on a particularly hot and sticky evening, Chloe Cherry, Deto Black, Miss Madeline, Love Bailey, and club night founder Lulo took Los Angeles to Heav3n and back. Taking over downtown’s cavernous 1720 Warehouse, sweat dripped from the ceiling as Cherry made her DJ debut behind the decks in an ‘I Love Cum’ baby-tee and pigtails and Bailey blasted fireworks from her lipstick pink, sequin-splattered cone bra, and the audience crushed up against the stage and threw their hands in the air in euphoria (soz x).
As well as being renowned for propelling iconic artists like SOPHIE, Charli XCX, and Kim Petras into the stratosphere, the night is also known as a queer hub where California’s club kids go all out every month in some of the wildest no-holds-barred fashions. From lewd, crude Praying and OGBFF crop-tops, slashed denim, studded leather, and Swarovski crystals, to still-going-strong mermaid and clowncore looks, more is more for those looking to ascend to Heav3n at the end of a long working week. And because of that, we’ve captured some of the best in the galleries above and below.
