Fashion Designer Sky Cubacub has been fantasizing about gender-inclusive fashion since they were 13. Now, at age 24, they have a clothing line built around that very goal. Rebirth Garments<\/a> offers clothing and accessories for people of every body type and gender.<\/p>\n

“I’m a queer, trans person with disabilities,” Cubacub (who uses they\/them pronouns) told Newsy. After considering whether to have separate lines for each identity they “really felt like it should be one line because I like the intersection of my identities.”<\/p>\n

This company is reclaiming the word ‘crip’ (once derogatory slang for someone with a disability) by integrating it into Queercrip \u2013 an umbrella term that encompasses all genders, orientations, and abilities and disabilities. Essentially, Rebirth Garments is for you, no exceptions. They even offer a glossary<\/a> so everyone can get the scoop on terms.<\/p>\n

Garments and accessories range from $35 to $1,200. Peep the shop here<\/a>. Cubacub makes custom pieces for folks in wheelchairs or with various motor impairment, as well as gender-affirming wear. From stretchy, bright binders to full-body suits to chain maille, the shop is nothing short of amazing.<\/p>\n

By maintaining ‘radical visibility’ they aim to celebrate parts of people that society normally rejects. While the garments are bright and playful, they also invoke a sort of warrior-like toughness. This is meant to act as a protective charm for the wearers.<\/p>\n

“The [garments] are full of life and color, and when I am laying in bed and can’t move, at the very least, I have this little bit of life in clothing, and I don’t have to hurt from the clothing,” one client told Newsy.<\/p>\n
