I’m a Transgender Woman—These are My Favorite Inclusive Fashion Brands
Introduction
As transgender people and gender nonconformists, we are expressive. We understand the importance of appearance and the distinction between fashion and function. Getting dressed raises questions about concealment, style, comfort, and gender identity. For special occasions, these questions become even more crucial. In this blog post, I’ll introduce you to three inclusive fashion brands that cater to trans and gender non-conforming bodies.
Carmen Liu
Based in the UK, Carmen Sui-Lung Liu founded her brand out of necessity during her transition. Carmen Liu offers lingerie designed for tucking to achieve a smoother, more gender affirming appearance. The brand has since expanded into bras with wider shoulder widths and clubwear, maintaining functionality without compromising on sex appeal.
Chromat x Tourmaline
Chromat, known for its sporty-chic bodywear and body inclusivity, collaborated with transgender woman Tourmaline on a swimsuit collection. The collection caters to varying gender expressions, offering rash guards, swim skirts, and bikini tops in diverse sizes. The boldly colored separates are perfect for various beach outings.
Judith
Erik Goldberg, under the label Judith, launched their brand during the pandemic. Their collection features bold lingerie and surrealist-inspired garments suitable for parties and late nights. As a young designer with a keen eye for transgender fashion, Judith’s designs are sure to make a statement.
