What to know about No Sesso
The name is the design brief
No Sesso is Italian for "no gender," and Pia Davis and Autumn Randolph cut the clothes without gender categories rather than splitting them into men's and women's.
Handwork over clean production
Expect hand-stitched embroidery, patchwork knitwear and reworked denim and jersey, which is where the mid-to-high pricing goes.
Rooted in Black LA subculture
Collections draw on Black hairstyling and Los Angeles subculture; Davis was the first openly trans woman to show on the official New York Fashion Week calendar, in February 2019.
