A Non-Gendered Undergarment Line Is In The Works — & Not Where You’d Think

Peregrine Honig of Kansas City lays claim to being the youngest living artist to have her work in the Whitney’s permanent collection — the museum bought one of her pieces when she was just 22. In 2010, she appeared on (and almost won) Bravo’s Work Of Art reality show, and she started her own lingerie store over a decade ago. The prodigy’s latest project: founding a gender-fluid undergarment line, All is Fair in Love and Wear.

“Binders and modification garments should be comfortable, effective, and as attractive as the people who wear them,” she writes on the label’s Kickstarter page. Getting a glimpse of the subpar underpinnings available to the trans community was the impetus for Honig to start All Is Fair. “I had a friend who’s transitioning, and when I saw her — now his — binders, I was surprised by how odd they were. They weren’t built for his frame. I went online, looked at what’s available, and it just seemed so strangely limited.”

Honig has owned a small, independent lingerie shop in Kansas City, called Birdies, for 13 years. And she found resources for her line via Miranda Treas, a designer she stocked there. Treas’ aunt, Laura Treas, had been in the post-plastic surgery and compression garment industry for three decades, so she had access to the right kind of materials and had worked on “cool, high-quality, comfortable, fashion-forward” pieces. The label will launch with four binders available in two colors, followed by tuckers, then cinchers and packers. Honig is All Is Fair’s founder, and the aunt-and-niece Treas duo are the line’s co-designers.
