“Beauty Pageant” by Tanner Fletcher NYFW

B ased in Brooklyn, New York, Tanner Fletcher is a genderless fashion and lifestyle brand by co-founders Tanner Richie and Fletcher Kasell. For Spring / Summer 2024, Tanner Fletcher hit the runway for the first time at NYFW with “Beauty Pageant,” showcasing a modern take on the concept of a beauty pageant, celebrating inclusivity and diversity throughout – an integral part of the Tanner Fletcher brand ethos since its inception.

To bring this concept to life, the brand partnered with the Miss Universe Organization for the show, bringing a new air of pageantry to fashion week. The brand’s unique collaboration with The Miss Universe Organization also marked a pivotal moment in popular culture, showcasing the beauty of all identities, regardless of gender, race, age, or sexuality. By reimagining the beauty pageant concept through the lens of Tanner Fletcher’s universe, the show underscored the message that beauty and talent transcend conventional norms.
