With Rio Uribe's queer-owned, sustainable brand, the founder of Gypsy Sport is leading the way on inclusivity.

It’s this inherent sense of inclusivity and community Uribe has cultivated around the brand that has put him in good stead to navigate the uncertainties posed by thecrisis. “I think in the first couple of years of the brand I felt like we had a weakness, because I couldn’t secure long-term retail partners and it was hard for me to maintain a business on the wholesale end,” he says.

“Before, we were focusing on locations like New York and Los Angeles, but now we’re opening up worldwide. We’re hosting conversations at times that suit Australia, for example, where we found out that we had a huge fanbase, or Singapore and parts of Asia where we also have a lot of fans.” It’s also served an opportunity for the wider Gyspy Sport community to learn more about the brand, and how Uribe and his team authentically uphold its core values.

“I think we’re only just getting started, and I hope eventually the fashion industry will be completely equal,” Uribe concludes. “There are so many types of people in the world and different types of beauty. Even in representing trans or queer or fat people, you might still be forgetting disabled or indigenous people, for example. One lesson we can learn right now is that maybe not every brand has to be for every person, but that the fashion industry has a whole can still represent everyone.
