Designer Becca McCharen-Tran Sends Powerful Message During Fashion Week About Trans Inclusion in Sports.
To help showcase her latest ready-to-wear collection for her label, Chromat, Becca McCharen-Tran teamed up filmmaker and activist Tourmaline to create a campaign that highlights the challenges trans athletes are facing. “This is about trying to reject the notion that there are only two categories for athletes,” McCharen-Tran explained to Vogue. “We were able to tell the story of fall through a creative reimagining that is more gender-inclusive.”
The collection itself represents an optimistic and inclusive future, and caters for all ages, genders and body types.
As Vogue asserts: “Who wouldn’t feel upbeat in zig-zagging neon prints and tangerine-tinted bikini tops with keyhole cutouts? While the sexier pieces focused on lingerie detailing, the collection’s sporty side was pure ’90s. The skin-tight bike shorts and combination hoodie-tanks that were a constant at gyms and basketball courts during the decade were recreated in technicolor brights”.
