Meet the queer Asian designer who’s bringing high fashion to… Sniffies??
Most gays use Sniffies in hopes of stripping down, but the web-based app is flipping the script for Pride Month.The viral hookup site wants to get you looking tight to hit the streets and has partnered with the gender-expansive fashion line FANG for its new Pride capsule collection.But don’t come looking for your standard rainbow-hued regalia, because this Pride line features three bold, sultry and attention-grabbing sleeveless tops in body-hugging fits that put a twist on heteronormative tanks.Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.The Essential Ribbed Tank’s black and gold design gives a nod to wrestling singlets, the gray mesh Pointelle Loop Tank has a peekaboo effect that will keep you cool while getting everyone else hot & bothered, and the Gradient Tank features a shimmering two-tone fabric with just the right amount of sheer.
All three feature square neckline and a cropped cut that leaves room for a glimpse of your waistline.Cruising in style just got a whole lot easier!A post shared by FANG (@fang.nyc)A post shared by FANG (@fang.nyc)A post shared by FANG (@fang.nyc)As we mentioned, the line is a collaboration with NYC-based gender-expansive brand FANG, which “aims to redefine the relationship between fashion and gender, and explores the dichotomy between femininity and masculinity.” FANG is the brainchild of founder and creative director Fang Guo, a queer designer who was inspired to start the line after being frustrated with shapeless sportswear in traditional menswear.Born in Beijing, Guo studied fashion merchandising at the Academy of Art in San Francisco and received a Masters from the City University of New York.He also definitely knows how to work a look.A post shared by FANG (@fang.guo)A post shared by FANG (@fang.guo)A post shared by FANG (@fang.guo)A post shared by FANG (@fang.guo)With the Sniffies Pride Month collection, Guo hopes the clothes.
