First Lesbian Label

A lesbian couple in the San Francisco Bay area has launched a new label called Studded. The brand has been developed for women who prefer masculine styles. Aisha Pew and Breonna Cole say that their clothing line is the first in the US to offer clothes to butch lesbians, studs and transgender men. Although the items look like what you would find in a men's clothing store, the cut is slightly more curvaceous to accommodate the female form.

The brand made its debut in Oakland's Parkway Theater last week and the designer Pew received a standing ovation from the audience. Pew told the Chronicle: "The point of it is bigger than clothes. It's about feeling good on the outside and representing who you are on the inside." Who can argue with that? I think I shall represent the princess in me and where a tiara to work tomorrow.
