We initially met Allison Graham a long time back at one of our Sun Meetings events, and we've been dreaming about working with her from that point forward.

“I want the world to change so we won’t continue to exist in the gender binary. I want the world to see that no matter how much they ostracize masculine-presenting women, we won’t back down. My boobs don’t determine my worth, they don’t determine my masculinity, my femininity, or even my gender.”

That fantasy is, at last, a reality: express welcome to our restricted release joint effort, including six sexually impartial styles intended for everybody.

“I want to make space for masculine-presenting women, but also GNC and non-binary and trans folks — anyone who doesn’t feel associated with or doesn’t want to be forced to adhere to certain gender constructs.” 

These 80s-roused basics, from shorts to shirts, are summer-prepared and made for blending and coordinating. The assortment is a balance of Faherty and Graham, where our easygoing energies and solace get a beautiful, athletic twist.

“I don’t take photos at the beach much. Swimwear and beaches are hard for me, between the lack of options as a masculine-presenting woman purchasing swimwear to my gender ambiguity, in which I cannot — refuse to — hide.”

Graham (of She Does Him) is the organizer behind Manliness Isn't An Orientation, a dress line — and reasoning — that epitomizes her viewpoint on separating the boundaries in customary menswear. Brought into the world in Jamaica, she tracked down motivation in her dad's style and has since embraced a portion of the pieces from her young life into her closet.

“Growing up as a girl, we’ve been conditioned to see boobs as sexual; boobs equals me being a woman. We all know that to be false, but at times it’s definitely been an internal tug of war with myself. I’ve always said I am not trapped in my body — I’m trapped in other people’s perceptions of my body.”

Presently a glad Brooklyn occupant, Graham is dynamic via virtual entertainment, utilizing her foundation to destroy generalizations about the Dark and LGBTQIA+ people group — explicitly as they relate to orientation and character.

“Masculine women aren’t validated in the same context that feminine women are. We aren’t appreciated, we don’t seem to be present in society’s views of women, we aren’t often told how beautiful we are...so to my masculine women: you are beautiful, you are handsome, you are fierce.”
