El pequeño es uno de los fundadores de la casa drag diseñada especialmente para niños, y se describe en Instagram como “un  dragutante, dragkeeter y draganista, haciendo lo que me gusta llamar kinderdrag. Soy un drag que arrasa. Tengo los mejores fans, mis ‘Amazies’”.

Repost from @daniellelevitt : . Our friend @Desmondisamazing walked in his first show during #NYFW for @gypsysport and TORE it. It gives us so much joy to watch this 10 year old person grow up. @Stephanieporto first introduced me to Desmond after he walked in the Pride Parade a few years ago. We shot him in 2016 for @boysbygirls magazine. Having worked with teenagers, youth, and marginalized people for so long, I am acutely aware of my subjects’ boundaries and Desmond was no different. At no point did me or my crew pressure him to perform or be something he thought I wanted him to be, instead we offered our platform and skills to him and allowed this young person to stand in his truth and express himself as he felt comfortable. I was honored and humbled to document this, and honestly it was fun as hell. Desmond is a visionary child – he loves pageantry, drag and the larger queer community. His favorite film is still “Paris is Burning”. When I met him, he dreamed of walking in a drag ball, of meeting @rupaulofficial and competing on Drag Race, and one day founding his own house. Today House of Amazing is a real thing and Desmond beams when he speaks about it. A child yes, but if there is one thing I have learned from my work it is listen. Children may have interests that wax and wane, but there is always passion and fire and it is my honor to create safe spaces where those passions can be seen, heard, and memorialized as my subjects dictate. BRAVO @DESMONDISAMAZING MAY WE ALL FOLLOW YOUR LEAD #DesmondIsAmazing #NYFW #Gypsysport @fentonjbailey @randybarbato

Sin embargo, aclara que él diseña sus propias prendas.
