Beyond this, Sky always dreamt of making gender affirming garments in high school when they could not access a chest binder. “I make myself stretchy pants with soft waistbands, which accommodate my stomach pain as well as seams on the outside for my sensory sensitivities,” says the now 27 year old. The brand was started by interdisciplinary artist Sky Cubacub, a non-binary queer disabled Filipinx individual, after they experienced a chronic illness in college. Based in Chicago, Rebirth Garments is a line of gender non-conforming clothing for the full spectrum of gender, size and ability.
