Aviatrix NYC, the hidden gem cherished by artists, Burners, and underground fashion aficionados, has emerged from the shadows and into the limelight, thanks to a recent feature in Vogue’s profile of NYC’s Costume Closet. This captivating brand is the brainchild of Michelle Palmer, a multifaceted talent who weaves her expertise as a designer, aerialist, performer, and model into the creation of exquisite, custom headpieces that cater to individuals of all genders. The brand’s exclusive launch event marked a significant milestone, offering a glimpse into the world of Aviatrix NYC.
