Rocket from the Stage

Jon Fulton Adams’ drama-filled designs were once restricted to the stage, but soon they’ll be available to Everyman. Expect no less than full frontal glamour at tonight’s launch of Adams’ new men’s clothing line, Queen’s Rocket. Adams says the look is a mixture of “Edwardian and steampunk styles, translated for the modern Dandy.” The Ron Megee-produced festivities feature music from the band the Monitor and DJ Alan, plus the indomitable David Wayne Reed as master of ceremonies. It all goes down at La Esquina, the Urban Culture Project’s art and performance space at 1000 West 25th Street. Tickets will be available at the door for $10. Doors open at 7:45 p.m., and the runway show begins at 9. For more information, see queensrocket.com or charlottestreet.org.
