When I started blogging a few years ago, I discovered a gap in our society. There was very little representation of non-binary individuals, particularly in mainstream media. I decided that I could be apart of that representation for our society, and so began my journey as a fashion blogger. Along the way, I came across a few questions…
… Yeah… Just a few questions, hahaha….
The number one question I am asked is “Where do you get your clothes?”
Honestly, I avoid this question because the places I get my clothes are not exactly places anyone would just walk into, unless they had a reason. For example, the outfit above, in the stripped top, this top actually came from the maternity section… You see what I mean?
I didn’t want to keep avoiding this question, but what else to do? Well, with the help of a few friends, we created this…
Everything from cosmetics to clothes in our society seem to have a binary gender associated with them. Why is this? I feel that it is more harmful than it is beneficial. It creates a real internal conflict for someone who is Non-Binary.
That’s what we want to change! We don’t want to change the kind of clothes people like to wear. We don’t want to change the kind of cosmetics someone uses everyday, our goal is to create a shopping experience that encourages self expression to the fullest extent! There are also some other issues that we would like to visit as a brand, such as shoes in a variety of styles & sizes beyond what has been traditionally available.
We have really only just begun, but with the help of my team and lots of hard work, GenderFlux will be more than just a clothing line.
… So that brings me to where I am now.
We ultimately want to create positive change in the world for people like myself, and many others who need a place to shop & be themselves to the fullest extent.
I may have the nerve to shop the maternity section for a slouchy, off the shoulder top, but lets be for real, I can’t recommend that to all of you! I can’t ask so many of you who are just beginning to discover and understand yourself as an individual, to put yourself in a awkward situation like that!
But ultimately, the brands success relies on your willingness to support what myself and my team have spent the last 2 years working on. Everyone involved has volunteered their time, skills and expertise because they believe in the vision for GenderFlux. A total of almost $30,000 has been invested into the brand via services like photo shoots, screen printing, travel expenses and much more, just to get us where we are now…
Now we need your help. Anything you can donate to our crowd funder, even if it is just $1, it will aid us in creating a brand for you that truly goes beyond anything ever traditionally done before.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart…
