Curtis Cassell, a trailblazing entrepreneur and designer, is the visionary force behind the pioneering nonbinary fashion label, Queera. Established in the vibrant city of New York circa 2020, Cassell's brand has been steadily gaining momentum, thanks to his unwavering dedication to his craft.
Prior to embarking on his entrepreneurial journey, Cassell honed his skills in graphic design at the prestigious Columbia College Chicago, where he earned a degree that laid the foundation for his future endeavors.
Subsequently, Cassell's passion for interior architecture led him to pursue a degree in the same field from The Illinois Institute of Art – Chicago. This multifaceted education has undoubtedly contributed to his unique design perspective, which seamlessly blends the worlds of architecture and fashion.
Inspiration for his designs is drawn from a deep appreciation for the art of architecture and the timeless allure of old movies. Each silhouettes tells a story, imbuing Cassell's creations with a sense of narrative depth and emotional resonance.
Cassell's ultimate goal is to expand his brand's repertoire beyond formal wear, with a focus on creating everyday wear that is both accessible and inclusive. This ambitious objective is driven by his desire to engage with a broader audience within the nonbinary community, challenge existing boundaries, and ultimately, create fashion that is truly for all.
