I had my final major project to due for university, and I started looking on Instagram at lesbian fashion accounts. I only found a few, and they were mostly exclusively masculine and all throwback images with no original content. I was like, where are the lesbians? I decided to make a platform that had original and authentic content featuring a range of different individuals so that lesbians can be high fashion.
[As a reference] I looked at the work of photographer Catherine Opie. A lot of lesbian fashion imagery is black and white or supposed to be sexy, and that wasn't what I wanted. I really liked her work because it’s really bright and colorful, and that's what I wanted to make, you know?My mission is to create a space where lesbian-identifying creatives can just make what they want to make and for people to know that we are high fashion and can be high fashion.
I just hope that they can see that our voices are being heard and that we are fashionable. We can be included in this industry. And maybe if I was looking at this when I was 14, wanting to go to fashion school, I would've had way fewer insecurities. I think I would have been at a bit more confident. So if that happens, that would be really cool.The night [we hosted] was really great.
