The exhilaration from walking in the @gothbats.bsky.social Life, Death, and Rebirth runway has left my soul spellbound. So proud of the alternative fashion community coming together, it was an honor to play a part.

Xavia in a deep blue witchy dress with her multi-blue hair draped over her bare shoulders, her arms have flowing sleeves and behind her are an enormous pair of blue wings, above her shoulders with colorful shades of blue feathers reaching to her knees. Behind her is a rainbow art piece
