Brooklyn-born Tiffany Rhodes designer and founder of Butch Diva, is the subject of UndergroundUp’s 11th episode. The short examines Rhodes love affair with spandex and her views on how fashion impacts her everyday interactions, among other topics.
Rhodes, who attended the High School of Fashion Industries in Manhattan and graduated from FIT, is one of those pure creatives who really is what she does. In other words, it’s hard imagine her doing anything other than making fashion. In addition to seasonal Butch Diva collections, she has created customized pieces for Nicki Minaj, Patra and Lil’ Kim.
For a better feel for the label, Butch Diva previewed its winter 2015 collection with a runway presentation at the Brooklyn Museum in August, an event that spoke to her love for spandex as well as her connection to Caribbean culture. The video for the event is below, plus some images from a lookbook she shot for the same collection. Read more about ButchDiva, which also includes an online store.
