James Ford Instagram – “This collection is a complete closet for folks with any identity. Rather than saying ‘gender neutral’ clothing, I call it ‘gender equal’. These days, you can’t look at any one piece & easily assign it to a menswear or a womenswear section. Lots of people try to do gender neutral clothing, but I haven’t neutralized anything. There’s cute heart buttons on a baseball jersey”.
“Crochet on workwear is exactly what you wouldn’t expect, & that’s what makes it really compelling. I feel like I put my favorite masculine traits & my favorite feminine traits of clothing into a blender. I kept what I liked from both”.
“I want the person wearing it to take a good look in the mirror, smile & confidently move on with their day. That feeling has nothing to do with gender & everything to do with wearing materials & aesthetics that make you feel cool, weird, & hot!”
“Since this is our first collection of the year & the second in the brand, I wanted to use it as an opportunity to tell people, ‘This is me. This is what I believe in’. This is my journey thus far in a single collection, & it all began with a need to make clothes that I needed, wanted, & couldn’t find.”
