From Ann :
“The garments I create are of the finest quality and are made with respect to form, function, and the future livability of the planet.
My time in the costume industry has instilled in me a set of principles that directly challenge the discriminatory and impersonal narratives promoted by many in the fashion industry. There is an inherent vulnerability in wearing clothing, and a level of compassion required in a tailor-client relationship. Contrary to what mainstream media shows us, clothes should fit the body, not the other way around. As a non-binary lesbian, I see the challenges my community faces in finding quality garments, and I envision a future where individuals feel confident and comfortable in clothing that both reflects their gender expression and flatters their shape.”
