The Story:
The origin of Caxology starts in 2020 with Mars, a 14-year-old non-binary fashion designer from Washington D.C.. They've navigated a challenging journey marked by the intersection of their race, gender identity, and artistic expression. From a young age, Mars found comfort and empowerment in self-expression through their unique clothing choices, consistently seeking to break free from conformity.
Their creative vision extends beyond aesthetics; it's a platform for amplifying the voices and stories of black non-binary individuals who have faced similar struggles. Mars aspires to foster an inclusive and unapologetic environment where people can fearlessly explore their gender identity. Through their fashion, they are not only creating eye-catching designs but also fostering a community that celebrates diversity and individuality.

He inspired hope and brought about change.” - Ibrahim Kamara, Art&Image Director Off-White™
