Returning with a sinful twist, the Church of Italo invites you to explore the Seven Deadly Sins!

A collaborative fashion show and intimate queer disco party in one of Brighton’s most beautiful church buildings - Fabrica! With local queer DJs bringing you Milano Ballroom, Italo Disco, House, Electronica, and Techno throughout the night alongside an immersive high-fashion runway with prizes for the most decadent looks.

Since the earliest days of the church, Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, and Sloth have haunted our imagination, shaping art, theology, and culture as the embodiment of humanity’s most treacherous impulses. For queer people, “sin” has long been weaponized against us, policing desire and shaming what makes us powerful. On Thursday 28 November, we reclaim those sins. Step into the confessional, own your vice, and seek absolution on our runway.

Dress to impress: dress to sin. Take inspiration from your chosen vice and let your imagination run wild. Odd Fabrication will award prizes for Best Costume, Best Performance, and Most Sinful. All attendees are welcome to walk the runway to show off their looks to our very special celebrity judges, who will grant you forgiveness… or damnation.

Dance deeper into temptation with Dr Rat, Amanda Robotnik, and Shields, shepherded towards salvation by our Mistrx of Mayhem, Mx Misha.

Church of Italo: It’s a Sin.
Confess. Indulge. Be absolved.

This is an inclusive event designed to showcase the sheer glamour of Brighton's queer community! No discrimination will be tolerated; no racism, sexism, sizeism, homophobia, or anti-trans bullsh*t. Let’s show the fashion world how it’s done.
