Omar Narvaez’s Star Wars and Adam Medrano’s Dallas Mavericks versions are both topical and trendy while Mark Clayton and Philip Kingston’s winter wear leans a bit on the campy side. Clayton dons what appears to be a homemade cardigan with embroidered ribbons and candy canes, while Kingston rocks a cartoon Santa sweatshirt with the neck portion of a floral print turtle neck sewed onto it. “I can’t explain how ugly and uncomfortable it is,” Kingston says.

It wasn’t just a photo op, as the council was committed enough to go about their duties at City Hall in their festive frocks.
