It took me a long time to find my own style. In my late twenties, I began incorporating pieces of men's clothing into my wardrobe, blending them with the women's clothes I typically wore. The transition was slow, and even after I stopped wearing feminine clothes altogether, I found myself occasionally reaching for a dress for formal events simply because men's suits in size XS were too big, and I didn't want to appear sloppy. Over time, I discovered certain European brands that catered to smaller sizes in men's clothing, although they tended to be pricier and often still required tailoring due to length or fit on the hips. This experience inspired me to create pieces for ALGND with androgynous styling in mind, specifically tailored for those who, like me, run on the smaller side. Of course, Jennifer and I also expanded our sizing to accommodate additional shapes and sizes.

I've always had a passion for fashion, especially for discovering well-crafted pieces made from premium materials at a reasonable price point. Trends in fashion come and go faster than you can say “couture,” but the world of fast fashion often leaves us with pieces that feel more like plastic than fantastic. This inspired me to create a brand that focuses on designing stylish, everyday wearable items using quality materials. As a self-proclaimed fashion enthusiast, the drive behind my passion lies in designing pieces that I would love to wear. Being able to mix and match items from each collection allows you to create a unique and distinctive look that Danielle and I are excited to offer.
With Love,
