On this episode of The Queerty Interview, we spotlight a true queer original: Utica. First introduced as a fan favorite on RuPaul’s Drag Race, she’s now back in the spotlight on Project Runway as Ethan, bringing her signature artistry and design talent to a whole new stage.

Utica opens up about the transition from drag to fashion design, the challenge of impressing judges like Law Roach, and why embracing both sides of herself makes her work even more powerful. She also shares behind-the-scenes tea from the Project Runway workroom, her Midwest roots, and what’s next on the horizon for her fashion house.

Hosted by Queerty’s Jake Thompson, this conversation is thoughtful, funny, and fabulously fashionable.
