CHELLA MAN LAUNCHES COLLECTION WITH OPENING CEREMONY

SECRET’S OUT!
I am utterly EUPHORIC to announce my collection with @OpeningCeremony today.
My first collection is an open invitation to strive towards a future where all individuals can tell their own story, a privilege in our world today:
Each piece traces back to revelations connected to Man’s identity as a queer, disabled, person of color.
From written messages on the fabric about his experiences as a Deaf individual to drawings he has created throughout his transition on testosterone, the collection defies the limitations of who someone can look like and be.
Allow these pieces to provoke this question:
What constructs in your life must you unlearn to uphold inclusivity and respect for all?
_
My goal was to make this collection as inclusive as possible.
From hiring an all queer team in front of and behind the camera, finding wheelchair accessible locations, and ensuring all assets be captioned:
There was much to consider for my very first collection, but I would not have it any other way.
This is the mindset I believe all organizations should revolve around.
On the line-up for the collection campaign are a series of my closest friends:
Photographer: @quillemons
Creative director: @maryvbenoit
Models:
@aaron___philip
@alokvmenon
@pfpicardi
@adameli
@kumari_seshasai
@doctor.darien
@yaknowme_hitomi
@maryvbenoit
Check out the link in my bio for the full interview with @dazed on the launch!
And, stay tuned at @chellamanart for the release of all campaign photos / information on the models and collection!
To my team full of friends and family, Opening Ceremony, and Carol Lim and Humberto Leon:
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all of the effort and love you have poured into this project.
Thank you for believing in me.
Thank you.
This is a dream come true and only the beginning.

It’s an honor to support people who bring light to the places that have been left dark for too long. Thank you for all that you do. For your art. For your message. For empowering the underrepresented.

[@aduck3854]

I love you, Chella. You're an inspiration to everyone, and I thank you for everything you've done. I'm so happy you're branching out, from UA-cam, to an Instagram influencer, to an artist, to fashion designer. I'm proud to be even a tiny subscriber and follower in your journey.

Amazing!

[@echannel6162]

I’m so happy this is happening. I think I’m tearing up.
This is one of the best ways to kick off pride ( I mean nothing can beat all people being allowed to live / travel / work wherever they want without their queerness being a limitation ).
The fact that his dream is real, the fact that this intersectional activist and artist signed this announcement with so much pride . . . Yup tears are real
Congratulations Chella 🎊 🌈 🎉

[@echannel6162]

PS: thank you for helping me learn sign. I’m still very new but I understood some of the signs in this video :)

[@mx.cadence]

THIS IS GENIUS. I love clothing and it has always helped me feel more like myself and be more confident. It’s a goal of mine to make a clothing line and seeing queer representation done in such an amazing way to go about celebrating identity through clothes has inspired me so much

[@Likeleonore]

I love this video, the collection and your forward thinking mindset!
One thing though; I find it hard to focus on your face an read the subs at the same time. It would be more easy if you place the subtitles somewhere down in the middle. I would like to see your expression while reading what you are saying!

[@JulyssaRose]

[@ianabraiescu4916]

Wait why is he deaf now?

[@Nyctolust]

what is this supposed to mean? he was born hard-of-hearing and gradually became completely deaf at a young age so he got cochlear implants.

[@kingslayer9316]

Eww
