These innovative Absolutely Queer designers and artists draw on life experience, joy and love to inspire their works, which are crafted with inclusivity and acceptance at heart.

Nikita Majajas (Doodad and Fandango)

A woman smiles at the camera. She has dark hair in a high bun and is wearing eyeshadow. You can see the top of her red, thin strapped dress.

Nikita Majajas is the founder of label Doodad + Fandango and has worked in the fashion industry for 20 years. She handmakes colourful and playful pop art jewellery and decor from laser cut, laminated acrylic. Majajas’ work explores the intersection between art, fashion and activism and includes pieces supporting celebrating her queer community.

‘To me pink is the campest, queerest colour. Pink is absolutely queer.’

Nikita Majajas

‘With my business, everything is instinctual. I make jewellery and I make objects and decor and artworks. Predominantly. I'm making things on a laser machine, and I'm using materials like acrylics and laminates and plywood and things like that; things that I can cut out on the machine.
