“When I started Parade, I wanted to create a brand that celebrated self-expression and rejected the one-body narrative that was everywhere in the underwear industry,” Parade founder and CEO Cami Tellez tells NYLON. “When we set out to design these new styles and expand Parade’s world of gender, we went to our community first.”Courtesy of Parade
“We worked with people, like West, Ebon, Ziggy, Jovel, and Gia, who helped us redesign classic styles over the course of 12 months,” she adds. “We started with 45 versions, fit-tested on 14 people, and focused on designing pieces for how they made our community feel. This collection is truly a love letter to our community and I’ve never been more excited to see how they wear Parade.”Courtesy of Parade
Parade’s New:Cotton styles start at $14, with bottoms ranging from $10 to $18, tops at $24 to $34, and the playsuit at $38.Courtesy of Parade
