The collection, designed to honor diversity and inclusivity, boasts a series of one-of-a-kind, hand-painted pieces which speak to reflections tied to Chella Man’s identity as a queer and disabled person of color. Garments will feature messages written by the artist about his experiences as a deaf individual, as well as drawings created during his transition on testosterone. This limited-edition collection is set to launch June 1st, and will be available exclusively at Opening Ceremony’s flagship Howard Street store in New York.

The collaborative partners will also release an additional capsule of jersey pieces, whose net proceeds will go to the Griffin-Gracy Educational Retreat & Historical Center in Little Rock, Arkansas. The center is focused on providing leadership development for Transgender and gender-nonconforming communities across the United States. The capsule collection, which includes a tank top, t-shirt, hoodie, long-sleeve mesh top and mesh pant, will be available at Opening Ceremony’s stores and [website.](https://www.openingceremony.com/)
