The New York Fashion Week is making splashes with every passing day and there is this one person who is walking away with all the limelight. Desmond Napoles, a 10 year old model marked his NYFW debut on February 11, where he walked the ramp for Gypsy Sport and since then social media has been obsessing over him.

He introduced himself on Instagram which read, "Hi! I'm Desmond from NYC. I'm a drag kid, dragutante, dragketeer, and draganista doing what I like to call kinderdrag. I'm a total drag slayer. I am also the youngest member of the original iconic pioneering ballroom house, the House of UltraOmni. I have the best fans, my AMAZIES! I am sincerely grateful for your love ♥ and support."

The young star further added, "I call my looks 'androgynously' and my style 'avant drag'. I'm inspired by RuPaul, the fashions of the Club Kids and Blitz Kids, the artists Andy Warhol and Keith Haring, designers John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, and Commes Des Garçons, Nelson Sullivan videos, altdrag, and do-it-yourself drag. I design or style my own outfits."

Mr. Napoles has over 30,000 followers on his Instagram and his insta handle is pretty interesting as well, it is: desmondisamazing (We couldn't agree more). He is an active LGBTQ advocate and is also the founder of the first drag house for drag kids, Haus of Amazing.
