Las Vegas Lights Up with Rave-Inspired Fashion Show Ahead of EDC

BY DAVID TUPAZ

Las Vegas kicked off the 2025 EDC weekend of musical festivities with a night of fashion at Area15. Produced by biteSiZeD multiMedia, Dreamsickle featured its first-ever rave fashion show, powered by eight extremely talented local designers who were eager and overjoyed to present more than 60 looks on their Yellow Brick Road runway in front of an energetic crowd.

Highlighted by the incredibly talented Jason Beaver, Debra Storey, Indigo, Heather Freels, Kapria Robinson, Heather Thomas, Chloe Stafford and Wild Muse styled by Dae Thomas, these local Las Vegas up-and-coming fashion stars understood the assignment and gave many attendees—who were planning to attend this year’s EDC festivities—fashion inspiration for their outfits heading into one of the biggest weekends of the year in Las Vegas.

Beeva, by Jason Beaver, shone with a colorful and succinct collection that turned heads when Beaver created his signature green mustache into an oversized accessory garment and matching sombrero. Debra Storey’s Blazzian collection brought her Cowboys vs. Aliens segment, which highlighted both her love for Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” album and the current style wave, coupled with an extraterrestrial-inspired showcase that made for a show-pleasing set.

Indigo, with her Indigo Jerseys line inspired by her love for the NBA, was highlighted by a crowd-pleasing basketball-net-like train that slid down the runway, much to the delight of the showgoers. The youngest designer and UNLV student, Kapria Robinson, and her Nadamuze brand delivered a collection highly favored by most of the Gen Z attendees who came out to get inspiration for EDC.

Heather Thomas and her SCATHED fashion brand took a darker, goth-like couture inspiration and created both wedding and funeral themes for her set, which provided an awesome contrast to the show’s mainly colorful ambiance. Chloe Stafford’s Chloetry Design collection brought a fun, couture feel to the mostly rave fashion event with bright, vibrant dresses.

One of the most memorable collections of the night was presented by Area15’s in-house rave fashion boutique, Wild Muse, styled by the incomparable Dae Thomas and her Vangaudy Haus. Thomas went big and bold with butterfly wings, mesh capes and festive makeup presented by her team, who revved up the EDC energy for all to see.

Curated for club kids and upcoming EDC ravers, the typical runway fashion show was turned upside down with charged-up dance music, trippy animations on the venue walls and sassy models who encouraged the crowd to stand up and scream for them as they stomped, danced and posed throughout the event.
