Rebirth Garments Fashion Show

In March 2023 I had the honor of participating in a Rebirth Garments Fashion Show at UT Austin. Designer, Sky Cubacub, creates gender affirming, disability accessible clothing for queer and trans disabled people. The photos below are taken by Christopher Sonny Martinez, and the clothing is designed and made by Rebirth Garments.

[Image Description: Suzanne has dark brown skin, tattoos on their arm, tortoise patterned eye glasses, and gold nose jewelry. They wear their natural hair half down, and half in two puffs, with two braids hanging on either side of her face.

Suzie is wearing overall shorts. The straps are bronze and the fabric is green tie dye, solid green, and mustard, assembled in blocked geometric shapes. Under the overalls, she wears a light green binder and leans forward with her hand on her hip.]
