Weaving (literally) together activism, design, and queer culture, Grindr partnered with Rainbow Wool to present I Wool Survive on the runway in New York. The collection is full of campy, fun pieces that reference gay archetypes made from wool of gay sheep designed by Michael Schmidt, who has made pieces for Lil Nas X, along with other big names.
If you haven’t heard of Rainbow Wool, it has recently gone viral. It’s a German farm that rescues rams who prefer other rams. Shepherd Michael Stücke, founder of Rainbow Wool, explained on the Grindr site that studies suggest roughly one in twelve rams exhibit same-sex attraction, and tragically, many of these animals are typically slaughtered. By saving these sheep and transforming their wool into garments, Stücke says the collaboration “proves that being gay is part of nature itself.”
While the website doesn’t have any bundle of wool for sale (yes, I want a whole bunch for Grandma to make me a Christmas sweater with), you can buy merch or adopt a gay sheep which always makes a great present and if you are ever in Germany, you can book a tour of the farm and learn how sheep play a critical role in the sustainable cycle.
