Rebirth Garments

Programs

Instead of a typical stoic runway, Rebirth Garments hosts fashion performances featuring local models of various marginalized identities all dancing in custom garments designed specifically to serve their physical and social needs. Through dancing, models show how the garments help them move in a way that shows off their true selves. Rebirth Garments is adamant about the accessibility needs for both the performers and audience. At the end of the performance we invite the audience to come join us, changing the landscape of what we think of as a fashion show and transforming the event from a spectacle to an academic event, club event, and lesson on radical inclusion.

Rebirth Garments has an accompanying print magazine called the Radical Visibility Zine since early 2018, which started its founder, Sky’s writing entitled, “Radical Visibility: A QueerCrip Dress Reform Movement Manifesto."
