Uncovering the fashion LGBTQ+ people really want
At Transition of Style, you can gain direct insights from LGBTQ+ models, designers, business owners, and style icons who are making waves in the fashion industry now.
By giving credit to a community that has helped make the fashion industry into what it is today, we’re pivoting the narrative from “the first and only” queer and POC on the runway or on the magazine cover, to “we’ve been here all along.”
We’re putting our own faces proudly on the trends that we’ve set for decades. It’s time for a podcast to pull back the curtains for the fashion business trendsetters of tomorrow.

About your host, Rocio Sanchez
Growing up in New York City as a queer kid, I was surrounded by the most fashionable people. I also grew up following every fashion trend on every social media, and that was a recipe for self-loathing. I found myself through fashion, first having a blast exploring hyper-femininity, until I realized there was more for me to explore — personally, aesthetically, and even academically.
Fast forward a few years later in Paris, writing a master’s thesis on queer fashion, and researching LGBT communities from Brighton to Chicago and San Francisco. How LGBT people express themselves through style is eternally inventive, it’s something that can be appreciated in so many ways, I didn’t need to travel across continents to see that.
After graduating (MA Fashion Studies) and starting my digital marketing agency, it became clear to me that our community’s inventiveness doesn’t stop at aesthetics. It travels through language and arts and even business. This podcast highlights those contributions that I barely saw acknowledged in my 10+ years working in and studying the fashion industry.

Testimonials

“Rocio is very consistent. They’re very detail-oriented. They definitely do their research before they put any information out. So anything that has their name to it, I think, is quality work.”
