DIFFA Dallas

Meet the 2025/26 Style Council Ambassador: April Vallee

describes themself as a Non-Binary EXPERIENCE, and that energy carries through everything they create. As a freelance fashion stylist, April sees no boundaries. Fashion is experimentation. It’s art in motion. It’s transformation. And you truly never know what to expect when they turn the corner.

As a Style Council Ambassador for DIFFA Dallas, April hopes to build awareness for the mission while being unapologetically themself and proudly representing the Trans and Non-Binary communities. For April, visibility and authenticity are powerful tools — and showing up fully is part of the advocacy.

Their influences are deeply rooted in the Earth — organic fabrics, minerals, plants, and flowers — often working with secondhand and vintage pieces to repurpose, reimagine, and reduce fashion waste. Sustainability, individuality, and expression go hand in hand.

Unexpected. Unapologetic. Entirely their own.

Welcome to the Style Council, April.

Meet Our Host: Danny Cabrera, aka Liquor Mini

International superstar drag queen Liquor Mini — known offstage as Danny Cabrera — is taking the mic at Miss DIFFA. A world-traveling flight attendant, Dallas Pride Grand Marshal, VACAYA Resort Director, and widely regarded as one of the strongest drag emcees in Texas, Liquor Mini knows exactly how to control a room, read the energy, and keep a show moving at full throttle.

Influenced by fashion powerhouses Billy Porter and Christian Siriano, Liquor Mini delivers presence, polish, and punchlines on demand. She’s graced stages from World Pride to Antarctica, and as a DIFFA Board Member and former Style Council Ambassador, she understands the assignment: keep it fierce, keep it fast, and keep the dollars flowing for the mission.

Meet our Judges: Rob Bradford

If you’re stepping onto this stage, understand this: Rob Bradford has seen it all. For over four decades, has been crafting spectacle, fantasy, and runway moments that demand attention. After joining the DIFFA runway over twenty years ago at the invitation of iconic producer Jan Strimple, Rob has created some of the most memorable pieces to ever command the stage. He doesn’t just appreciate drama — he engineers it.

Rob’s style is entirely his own: bold, theatrical, impeccably constructed — whether he’s in an embellished caftan or in razor-sharp couture. As a 2025/26 Style Council member, he continues to champion craftsmanship and fearless creativity within DIFFA. So when it comes to Creative Fashion, know this: he’s clocking the details, the fit, the finish — and whether you came to compete or just came to be seen.
