Fashion is Becerril's passion

Openly gay fashion designer Miguel Becerril presented Collezione Di Teatro as part of Revelation a la Mode at the Creative Lounge Chicago. Windy City Times went behind the scenes as models prepared to walk the new collection down the runway.

Born in Cuautla, Morelos, in Mexico, he went to Steinmetz Academic Centre, and then debuted his first collection back in 2004. This has led to the Necessary Taboos event this past November to the current show.

Revelation raised funds for the Bright Kids Uganda charity with flare as only fashion can.
