world that can often feel hostile and unwelcoming to those who don&#8217;t fit into traditional gender roles, The Phluid Project is a beacon of hope. Today, when gender roles and expectations continue to hold a significant presence in our everyday lives, the idea of a gender-free space is a radical concept. Yet, that is precisely what The Phluid Project has achieved, offering <span style=\"color: #c47829;\"><a style=\"color: #c47829;\" href=\"https:\/\/troora.com\/team\/fashionsimply-the-exception-to-the-rule\/\"><strong>gender-neutral fashion<\/strong><\/a><\/span> collections in am inclusive space for all. Founded by Rob Smith(he\/they) in 2018, The Phluid Project has become an important landmark in the movement toward gender equality and acceptance.<\/p><p>A former marketing executive, Rob Smith, was inspired to create The Phluid Project after years of feeling boxed in by gender expectations. Growing up as a gay man in a conservative household, he struggled with the idea of being forced to conform to traditional gender roles. \u201cIt was like I was being told that I had to fit into this very rigid box of masculinity, and if I didn\u2019t, then I wasn\u2019t a real man,\u201d he explained in our interview on Zoom.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-885c703 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"885c703\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"page\" data-elementor-id=\"36220\" class=\"elementor elementor-36220\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-258eff6 e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"258eff6\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c41fbd4 e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c41fbd4\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b999b5 e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1b999b5\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36e3a72 e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"36e3a72\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3149f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f3149f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After years of working in the fashion industry, Smith realized that there was a void in the market when it came to gender-neutral clothing. He saw an opportunity to create a space that would not only offer gender-free clothing but serve as a community hub for people of all gender identities. And so, The Phluid Project was born.<\/p><p>Living in corporate America for several years, Smith developed a more altruistic way of life, giving more purpose and meaning than just selling clothes. His vision came to life after a trip to the Black Rock City of northwestern Nevada, attending the Burning Man festival. \u201cWhen you go there, there\u2019s a code of conduct, how they ask people to behave. By day three, everyone gets to be there, this fantastical version of themselves. And then people come back to their Monday lives in corporate America, putting on a suit,\u201d he recalls. Deeply concerned, he decided to quit his job and find the answer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4233c47 e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4233c47\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6340e76 e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6340e76\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91b0c42 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"91b0c42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Rob Smith wearing Phluid shirt<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f85601 e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1f85601\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-477ad9c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"477ad9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why Gender-Neutral Fashion Matters in Today\u2019s World<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d343d74 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"d343d74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ed2990 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8ed2990\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Smith embarked on a journey to Peru, where he spent a month working with plants and immersing himself in a plant-based lifestyle. During a ceremony, an idea struck his head: to open a gender-free, nonbinary clothing store, and committed to making this idea a reality, by opening the world\u2019s first gender-free store. The idea of a gender-free shopping experience didn\u2019t really exist before. Still, the Phluid Project has proven that it\u2019s not just a possibility but a necessity for those seeking a more inclusive and diverse shopping experience. He explains, \u201cWhen it came to the stores, they tend to always be diverse in gender, race, age, sexual orientation.\u201d<\/p><p>Launched in March 2018\u2014in NYC and online, The Phluid Project is not just a store; it\u2019s a gender-free fashion brand grounded in community, activism, and education, a social space where people can come together, connect, and feel seen and heard. Partnering exclusively with brands whose products celebrate the non-binary, the Phluid project is now in 5,000 stores across the US, including Target, Nordstrom, Macy\u2019s, and other big retailers. \u201cWe want our clothing to be timeless so that you can wear it for years,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86df573 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"86df573\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"36237\" class=\"elementor elementor-36237\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72939aa e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"72939aa\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ab2d92 e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2ab2d92\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a469d9d e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a469d9d\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-076a0f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"076a0f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>First, Smith opened the Phluid store in Soho, offering gender-free garments, not colorless, shapeless clothes. The store regularly hosted events, workshops, and panels that focused on issues related to gender and sexuality. People felt a sense of community there, being able to participate in fashion shows, panel discussions, and events. For Smith, that was a way to understand better the needs of the <a href=\"https:\/\/troora.com\/team\/free-to-travel-queer\/\"><span style=\"color: #c47829;\"><strong>LGBTQ+ community.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p><p>After starting as a student, Smith progressed to become a teacher, guiding corporations and speaking at conferences about deconstructing gender and defying traditional gender roles. Amidst the pandemic era, the store was closed in 2020, but it soon evolved into something greater, the Fluid Foundation. Operating both as a platform for education as well as a retailer, the Phluid Project soon transformed from a wholesale business to a non-profit organization.<\/p><p>For Smith, it\u2019s not about the praise; it\u2019s about creating an inclusive and welcoming space. \u201cI want The Phluid Project to be a place where people feel like they can be their authentic selves,\u201d he clarifies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f939cc e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1f939cc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e631df e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6e631df\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98834ec elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"98834ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Two models with colorful background<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14683c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"14683c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\u201cFreedom for All\u201d: The Phluid Project\u2019s Global Campaign for Equality<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38b12fd elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"38b12fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b651384 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b651384\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For the LGBTQ+ community, fashion can be a way to express their identity and to feel seen and heard. The philosophy behind gender-free clothing and accessories is rooted in the belief that gender norms should not restrict clothing. By providing gender-free clothing and accessories, fashion brands can create a space for people to express themselves freely without the limitations of gender norms. This can be particularly important for people uncomfortable expressing themselves through traditionally gendered clothing. \u201cWe want things to be expressive both in silhouette and color. After all, it\u2019s about feeling good in what you wear.\u201d<\/p><p>With the Phluid Foundation, Smith allows retailers to connect with the LGBTQ+ more deeply. \u201cI feel more retailers care about Gen Z and learn about it because, in that way, they can be more relevant. In a way, realizing that this is not a trend, it\u2019s a very serious situation that has to change how we perceive the world,\u201d he adds. For fashion and retail brands, it is essential to prioritize and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, particularly during Pride Month, but not necessarily. \u201cWhat\u2019s really important is to carry products from and highlight brands, employees, and other owned businesses, whether queer-owned or Black-owned or woman-owned, not just on that month, but also to support them throughout the year,\u201d he claims. Being an ally should not be a performative act limited to a specific time frame but rather a consistent effort to support and uplift marginalized communities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a08730e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a08730e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1070\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/bunny-wp-pullzone-jakavd135b.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/freedom_collection_campaign.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-16091\" alt=\"Phluid Project graphic t-shirts display\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bunny-wp-pullzone-jakavd135b.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/freedom_collection_campaign.jpg 1070w, https:\/\/bunny-wp-pullzone-jakavd135b.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/freedom_collection_campaign-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bunny-wp-pullzone-jakavd135b.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/freedom_collection_campaign-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bunny-wp-pullzone-jakavd135b.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/freedom_collection_campaign-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bunny-wp-pullzone-jakavd135b.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/freedom_collection_campaign-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1070px) 100vw, 1070px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aad9bc4 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"aad9bc4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Phluid Project graphic t-shirts display<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30f1450 e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"30f1450\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01c4d0e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"01c4d0e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What the Future Holds: Fluid City and the Metaverse<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f75c4e elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"2f75c4e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5546bc0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5546bc0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For his latest campaign of the Phluid Project,\u201cFreedom for all,\u201dSmith wanted to create a campaign that was inclusive of people on different continents, with different stories and messages.
