More Than a Runway

GARRAS 2026: TRANSPOWER IN THE FLESH

Join The TransLatin@ Coalition on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood for a night of fashion, performances, and community power.

GARRAS is The TransLatin@ Coalition’s annual fundraising fashion experience, celebrating the creativity, leadership, and self-expression of Two-Spirit, transgender, gender-expansive, and intersex (2TGI) communities. Its name stands for Groundbreaking Activism Redirecting & Reforming All Systems.

Experience runway presentations and performances by LA Bamby, Pepper MaShay, and Ve'ondre as fashion, art, and advocacy come together in a celebration of our communities’ brilliance.

Your Night Supports Work That Continues All Year

Funds raised through GARRAS support The TransLatin@ Coalition’s year-round work in direct services, advocacy, and systems change, advancing the well-being, dignity, safety, opportunity, and power of 2TGI communities.

Your participation helps sustain that work while creating space for our communities to be seen, celebrated, and supported.
