Check out the piece I did for CUNY-TV’s newsmagazine show “219 West” that aired recently…
Bow ties, tailored suits, and button-downs are not usually associated with women’s fashion. But founders of Brooklyn-based fashion brand, Marimacho, have created a line of clothing for masculine-identified women who prefer a more dandy approach to dress. Amy Stretten has this fashion forward story. [Fast forward to 10:27 for my piece]
Hope you like it!

“marimacho: (n. Spanish) a girl who behaves in a boyish manner; tomboy”
Crystal González and Ivette Alé are the visionaries behind Brooklyn-based clothing line Marimacho. The genderqueer clothing line was created to solve the challenges of finding well-fitting, gender-appropriate clothing for masculine-of-center women and transgender men.
