DEAD NAME is an exploration of erasure, resistance, and transformation. Rooted in the evolving political climate, it interrogates the escalating assault on trans existence and the inextricable link between Black liberation and gender freedom. In a world where Black, queer, and trans bodies are constantly policed, legislated against, and denied autonomy, this collection reclaims fashion as a site of protection, defiance, and radical self-determination. Fashion has long been weaponized—used to regulate bodies, enforce binaries, and commodify identities. DEAD NAME disrupts these histories, subverting the aesthetic codes that have historically erased or disciplined those who refuse to conform. Through experimental silhouettes, textile interventions, and a commitment to responsive beauty, the collection reimagines adornment as armor, visibility as resistance, and self-expression as a non-negotiable act of survival. To name is to acknowledge. To rename is to reclaim. DEAD NAME does not mourn what was imposed but celebrates what is self-determined. It envisions a future where Black, queer, and trans bodies are not just seen but safeguarded, where the dolls are protected, and where fashion moves beyond spectacle to become a site of true liberation.
