For one week every year, downtown Halcyon City mutates into a glowing cathedral of fashion, celebrity, art, and absolute teenage chaos. Streets are shut down. Giant holographic ads drift between skyscrapers. Food trucks sell glitter-dusted noodles at 2 a.m. Influencers climb fire escapes for daring photos. Every rooftop somehow has a DJ.

The Expo claims to celebrate “fashion as self-expression.”

This year, it feels more like a fever dream with a sponsorship deal.

After the last few years, security either increases or decreases based on who fronts the bill. Madame Suture fronts the bill this year and promises to have a new approach to security to make sure any would be villains are dealt with.
