26 LGBTQ+-Owned Fashion Brands to Shop and Support

Queer designers and creators are arguably the backbone of fashion. Throughout history, they've been some of the most innovative voices in the industry, creating unforgettable fashion moments as well as timeless pieces that can upgrade your style for a lifetime. However, even today, LGBTQ+ designers and entrepreneurs often find it harder to break into mainstream markets due to continued hetero- and cis-normativity. We may see an influx of rainbows at corporate brands every Pride month, but fewer of them are channeling that energy into hiring practices or size and gender inclusivity. Luckily, you can purchase directly from plenty of LGBTQ+-owned brands with product ranges that balance good design with product offerings that place their communities at the forefront. Ahead, see 26 LGBTQ+ fashion brands that should be on your radar, complete with standout product picks to shop.
