Christmas is the most emotional time of year, one where we return to our homes, reflect and reconnect with our loved ones and our relatives. For many of New York’s voguers, their houses are their families, with bonds thicker than blood.

In this film House Of Xmas produced by BRAVÒ NYC, directed by Aurélien Heilbronn and envisioned by Dazed we hit the streets of NYC with the city’s ball culture babes for an intimate insight into how they celebrate this time of year (spoiler: lots of voguing) with the close friends that they consider family.

This is the story of New York’s beautiful outsiders coming together at this emotionally charged time of year, a story of community, family and love.
