Third Circles

At Third Circles, we’re all about embracing the fluidity of culture and creating spaces for limitless expression. So of course we love a ball! Ballroom culture dissolves the boundaries of identity. It subverts and reimagines gender, wealth, beauty and other concepts. We particularly love this description of ballroom: "Since the beginning, it has straddled the line between the visible and invisible; between discrimination and aspiration." Being at a ball is about as Third Circles as you can get.

Which is why we definitely recommend accepting Mother Naimah Elle's invitation to the upcoming Femme Queendom Ball at Paradiso. Mother will be joined by icons including the Legendary Diva Ivy Balenciaga (European Mother of the House of Balenciaga).
