Art school. Gay friends. Singing and dancing lessons. It seemed like Kadeem Fyffe had it all as a gay teen. That is, until his religious mother discovered he was gay, resulting in her yanking him out of all his lessons and throwing him into a toxic, bully-fueled environment at a public school. That’s when he realized there was only one way out of his new situation and into an environment where he could thrive as a fashion designer: make a plan.
Kadeem Alphanso Fyffe, 29, is a Jamaican-American fashion designer, activist, and public speaker. He is the Founder and Creative Director of the gender-fluid label, MUXE NEW YORK (pronounced moo-shey) – muxenewyork.com – and currently serves as the Head of Design for multiple activewear start-ups. His eponymous RTW label, FYFFE will be launching in Fall 2021. His design work has been featured in People, Cosmopolitan, and USA Today; he was named to Out Magazine’s 2020 Out 100 List.
