Finnish designer Ella Boucht created these butch fashion looks in 2020
Interviewer: Butch and lesbian fashion is often the subject of disdain. If someone says ‘you look like a lesbian’ it's often meant as an insult. Do you want to change and reclaim that as something positive and powerful through your work?
EB: Sometimes I have a hard time identifying with the word lesbian. Dyke can be easier. I really like these words and I love that there are these words to identify with so I definitely would like to see a positive change of using them. I want contemporary queer and lesbian people to also find new ways of dressing that don’t have to be in these terms and find their own ways of identifying. I'm curious to see if there's gonna be a big change in what lesbian style looks like.
