What’s a butch woman or trans man to do? They want to wear menswear, but men’s clothing is boxy and oversized with no allowance for hips, the shoulders and neck are often too wide, and the crotch area is unflattering. And “androgynous” womenswear isn’t any better. It’s still too feminine and form fitting, with too much attention to the chest area. Well, thank goodness for HauteButch: “A handsome fashion collection for butch, androgynous, straight & lesbian women and transmen. Designed By Us, For Us, For Every Occasion.”
HauteButch is revolutionizing a line of quality, edgy,sexy clothes and footwear that incorporate an aesthetic embraced by butch women, androgynous straight women and transmen. Our innovative designs are crafted with a laser focused attention to fabrics, colors, detail and we obsess over the fit and finishes.
Why Is This Important?
Many women and transmen have very limited choices available to them because they don’t identify with the mainstream category of gender related clothing and their needs have been disregarded. For many years, they have been reduced to buying ill fitting clothes from the men’s department or feminine clothes, only to have them altered.This has been a frustrating, exhaustive and rejecting process. We say, no more.No more compromising of self. Our clothes speak on our behalf before we ever utter a word.
This vision is about so much more than fashion or clothing, it is a revolution in the power of choice and freedom. You deserve clothes that fit and empower you.
HauteButch is trying to raise $20,000 to produce the 2015 Collection. So far they’ve $12,400 and they’ve got 14 days to go. Help make this a reality!
