I’m Ketan Wyatt and my brand is Sticky Gold. Sticky Gold is a sustainable club and street wear company with the lgbtq community as inspiration at the heart. At Sticky Gold, fashion is more than fabric, it’s a statement, a celebration and a movement. My brand was born from the desire for representation and authenticity, empowering the queer community with designs as bold and unapologetic as those who wear them.

I started by designing for drag performers, but my passion grew into a small business dedicated to creating unique, empowering clothing. Sticky Gold challenges norms, embraces identity, and tells stories through every piece.

Sticky Gold is also committed to sustainability, using eco-friendly materials and ethical practices, ensuring my designs not only look good but do good. When you wear sticky gold, you’re not just making a fashion statement; you’re declaring that you stand for something greater, something golden.

I am a sustainable fashion designer, bringing a splash of color to the fashion industry using recycled textiles and retro prints. I plan to keep things weird here in Austin and continue to create one-of-a-kind pieces, all made with love.

SwankKi Tailor & Threads is a Design House focused on apparel sustainability and upcycling. My designs and service combine style and activism in a way today’s ready to wear and retail stores could never. I love to build on ideas to re-imagine, repair or alter garments from their original state. While basic tailoring, mending and altering can be completed; projects based around refurbishing, repairing and upcycling are preferred. I specialize in handmade custom apparel designed to embody, enlighten, and empower underrepresented groups as well as challenge social norms, because people often don’t want to hear what your clothes are telling them. My ever-expanding skill set as a stylist, tailor and designer has positioned me as a one-stop shop and resource for my local queer community. I feel pride especially serving those who identify as gender diverse, non-binary, gender-fluid, gender-nonconforming and/or LGBTQ+.

PHBE GB is a slow fashion label focused on using upcycled and dead stock materials to create playful fashion that celebrates and empowers the wearer. I use color and texture to convey emotion and inspire personal expression through clothing.
