$Les vrais délices, passent par le supplice. 🥀 ____________ True delights come from torment. 🥀 I had too much fun shooting the September edition of @altxdfw with everyone a few weeks ago! My inspiration for this look was a more romantic, classic vampyr, and in particular is inspired by French aesthetics (hence the hat.. and the feathers) and red roses. I made the hat the day of 🖤 . . . . . . 📸: @lizzy_exists @altxdfw { #drag #dragking #vampire #goth #vampiregoth } by @duke.van.pyre$

$Who’s the man? ______________ Thank you SO MUCH to all the people that came out to the @empyre.productions birthday show at @panoptikondallas for me!! Everyone did amazing and I had so much fun the whole night. The club was decorated and the music curated for me, and everyone’s performances made me smile. I love yall. ♥️ . . . . . 📸: @h_wood_studios { #drag #goth #dragking #gothdrag #gothclub } by @duke.van.pyre$

$Here it is. The FULL RUNWAY from “Death Becomes Me”, a collection designed and created by yours truly that showcases the many ways one can die, presented in a glamorous light. Every single model killed it. I’m so proud of my team, I’m proud of @noirsocietydtx as a whole, every single person had a hand in making this happen and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much to @djlordbyronofficial for DJing the show, having a host to announce things and control the music as masterfully as you did made a HUGE difference in the atmosphere!! As a designer, one’s first full show is always nerve-wracking, but I think I can safely say this: I’m proud of myself. It takes a lot for me to genuinely be proud of the work I present sometimes, it may not come off like that but I second, triple, and quadruple guess almost every single thing I do as a creative. However Thursday night was a TRIUMPH and I can happily say it was overall a resounding success. Thank you SO MUCH to every single person involved, I couldn’t be happier. I’m overflowing with joy and appreciation and love for all of you 🖤 ______ Featured jewelry by: @vulturecraftart @the.satyrs.shop HUGE shoutout to Cheri from @circusbitties for doing our rigging/shibari work! Thank you so much! ______ Thank you SO MUCH to @mcanarchy97 for this video 🫶🏻🖤 . . . . { #fashion #thingstodoindallas #gothfashion #fashionshow #designer #altfashion #blood #white #alternativefashion #altmodel #goth #gothmodel #panoptikon #dfw #noirsocietydtx } by @duke.van.pyre$

Plenty of fashion, good music, talented performers and lovely attendees, @houseofthedivinedusk continues to outdo themselves in their annual collaboration with @panoptikondallas 🖤🩸 I can’t wait for next year! _____________ . . . . . 📸: @beagleone { #goth #dragking #drag #gothdrag #vampyre } by @duke.van.pyre$

I am so happy to call this queen my drag mom, she’s always been there for me and she nearly made me cry gushing about me on the mic the other night 😭 ______________ . . . { #drag #dragking #dragqueen #dragshow #circus } by @duke.van.pyre$
