Go Go Graham SS16








 


















This collection is by designer Go Go Graham in New York. She created a love letter to trans sisterhood in the form of 21 outfits worn by members of her inner circle. 


Graham's idea was to make the runway's brand focus on making trans girls feel empowered. "Everything was about the girls," said Gogo afterwards. "They wanted things that fit properly and things made for their body type. Each girl had her individual needs and wanted specific shapes and textures," she added. "I want these girls to be empowered in every aspect of their lives and it makes it easier when you aren't worried about your clothes - that's what I want to provide for these other trans femmes."
“Graham’s collection was not about the creation of clothes or even the fun frivolity of making big one-off fashion statements. Rather it represented a moment in which everyone involved came together to celebrate the importance of every trans girl’s unique story, beauty and individuality”
