“Take up space and don’t let anyone tell you you’re “too much.”

Rebirth Garments

Rebirth Garments challenges mainstream beauty standards that are sizest, ableist, and conform to the gender binary.

The line creates a community where all people can confidently express their individuality and identity. Our identity is that of Queer, Mad and Disabled, which encompasses queer, gender nonconforming identities and apparent/ non-apparent disabilities/ disorders—physical, mental, psychological, intellectual, developmental, emotional, etc. In particular, our trans and disabled communities have very particular clothing needs that are not adequately served by mainstream clothing designers. Instead of being centered on cisgender, heterosexual, white, thin people, Rebirth Garments is centered on Queer and Disabled people.

Kyle Denman

Denman's mission is to use his own platform and privilege to create social change, share cultural narratives, and humanize the experiences of underserved communities through artistic mediums. He believes fashion is an all-encompassing art that is movement, design, and architecture juxtaposed in political, social, and cultural contexts.

As a fashion designer, Denman is known for his avant-garde creations, unique silhouettes and construction techniques, and emotional storytelling. Denman believes that, together, people can ignite a culture of change through creativity and curiosity.

UPRISERS

Streetwear with a purpose is in our DNA. Our collections and designs are centered around releasing impactful messages geared towards driving conversations and inspiring positive change.

But our work doesn't end here. We are a group of creatives, leaders, and doers with a commitment to championing our community voices and stories. Through our annual Family Drive, Family Market & Cafe, Family Portrait and Neighborhood events, we reimagine the possibilities of collective work with trusted voices in our community to celebrate and participate in impactful experiences.

NYI (Not Your Inspiration)

NYI or not your inspiration is a fashion brand started by blind designer Natalie Trevonne and artist Ernest Spicer with a mission to bridge the gap between disability and  the fashion industry. Each garment is made carefully with the idea of  making style that you can touch. As a blind woman, Natalie identifies her clothes by textures so she wanted to create a fashion line that  makes the getting dressed process easier for those who are blind or low  vision.

“Don’t just look good, feel good!”
