Worlds first transgender lingerie brand’s fashion show a success – despite anti-trans protestors.
THE world’s first transgender lingerie brand, Carmen Liu Lingerie’s GI Collection, launched at a glittering event at Glaziers Hall on London’s Southbank last month with a fashion runway featuring transgender models plus live hair and make-up demonstrations from world-class professionals.
The GI Collection includes a unique series of products and services, aimed to help transgender women feel both genuinely feminine and sexy. The brand comes as “a stark contrast to the limited choice of ghastly and masculine products currently on the market, which can prevent transgender women feeling like the women that they are.”
Whilst the launch was a success, not everyone was ready to embrace the brand with several anti-transgender protesters causing a stir outside the event by singing transphobic songs, wearing offensive clothing and waving around anti-trans derogatory posters.
A spokesperson for the event, said: “The very purpose of the collection is to help transgender women feel genuinely feminine and sexy and help cisgender people to “get it” – “it” being that transgender people are equal to everyone else and should be treated as such.
“Clearly, these transphobic actions –which did nothing to dim the success of the launch event – show that we still have a long way to go in society to reach this point. But there is no doubt we will get there.”
