In collaboration with trans filmmaker Tourmaline, Becca McCharen-Tran, designer and founder of Chromat created their spring/summer 2022 swimwear collection for trans girls who don't tuck.
Inspired by Marsha P. Johnson, a prominent figure in the 1969 Stonewall Uprising — seen as a major moment for gay rights in the United States — the assortment included swimwear bottoms with more room in the front, shorts, monokins, and matching bikini tops.
McCharen-Tran has been designing clothes since 2010 that don't focus on the male gaze. The self-identifying Lesbian designer believes that what you wear is your calling card and intends to challenge the societal beliefs about what bodies are deemed desirable.
