Founder and designer of the nonbinary label Queera, Curtis Cassell launched his brand in New York City circa 2020. He studied graphic design at Columbia College Chicago and graduated with a degree in interior architecture from The Illinois Institute of Art – Chicago. His love for architecture and old movies inspires his silhouettes, telling a story with each individual piece. His goal to expand from formal wear to everyday wear is motivated by his desire to reach all audiences of his community, challenge existing boundaries, and create fashion for all.
