In this episode, Niki interviews Becca McCharen-Tran, queer fashion designer and founder of Chromat (a swim and bodywear brand known for its powerful garments that fit all bodies). Recognizing the impact of cultural institutions, they discuss the inherent white supremacist nature of the fashion industry, pick apart the contradictions of the new trends of "body positivity" and "inclusivity", and highlight different designers who are centering conversations of race, police brutality, and the carceral state.
Becca's work has been featured in Vogue, Teen Vogue, Them, Nylon, Glamour, Business of Fashion, Marie Claire, Opening Ceremony, Elle, Glamour, The Huffington Post, and elsewhere.
Chromat has designed pieces for Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Madonna, Tyra Banks, FKA Twigs, and many other artists.
