Metropolitan Fashion Week Forbidden Tango Photos by Esteban Leyva

The Palm Springs Art Museum was transformed into a vibrant stage for the Metropolitan Fashion Week’s “Forbidden Tango” show on Saturday, March 8, 2025. The evening was a whirlwind of artistic expression, featuring a stunning array of fashion masterpieces inspired by the passionate dance of tango.

The night was a feast for the senses, with music by DJ Galaxy and expertly crafted hair and makeup by the International School of Beauty. A special highlight of the evening for us was KGAY Desert Guide’s own Brad Fuhr, who graced the runway modeling a sleek tuxedo, adding a touch of local flair to the high-fashion event.
