Brilliant Species: Bridging The Gap Between Fashion, Art and Disabilities!
About Us
Brilliant Species is an apparel brand that is built to bring positivity to the disabled community through visually stunning streetwear designs.
By constructing smartly designed merchandise, Brilliant Species aims to bring the necessary awareness to an often overlooked population.
Our apparel encourages recognition and appreciation of individuals within the disabled community while giving them a way to express themselves with originality and pride.
We believe it’s of the utmost importance that disabled individuals are seen in this world, so we provide them with a platform for self-expression through our clothing.
Additionally, we’re also aiming to break down any stigmas when discussing disabilities, in order for them to be accepted as part of everyday life. With unique designs and one-of-a-kind hoodies, hats, shirts, and more - you can help us spread the word about disability awareness!
The Story Behind Our Brand
Our journey started with a simple premise - all Species are Brilliant. Despite society's tendency to prioritize some and overlook others, we decided to defy convention and give rise to equality and acceptance for every being regardless of their level of ability, race, or origin.
To achieve this goal, we launched "Brilliant Species" in 2021. We dream of creating a platform where the world can appreciate and accept each other for who they are.
Through streetwear fashion and art tailored for people from marginalized communities, we strive to make an impact on society by normalizing diversity and promoting social inclusion on a global scale.
Breaking Down Barriers
The clothing we wear has often been used to express identity and further a sense of community. But the role of clothing can be particularly significant in the lives of those with disabilities, who often struggle to overcome physical and physiological barriers.
Each piece of clothing is thoughtfully designed to provide both practical and aesthetic advantages. With these fashion choices, something as simple as an outfit can literally open up new possibilities for people with disabilities.
In addition, this intentional design sends a message that says everyone should have access and should matter on equal terms regardless of their disabilities.
Our individual fashion choices make an impact far beyond our immediate circle, allowing us to confidently express ourselves.
Our Mission
At Brilliant Species, we believe that everyone should be treated with respect and included regardless of their abilities or disabilities. We are dedicated to providing meaningful opportunities for growth and socialization for people who have been marginalized in the past because of their disability or identity.
Our hope is that through our brand, we can create an environment in which individuals with unique differences are accepted without question and encouraged to be themselves.
We strive to set a good example of the value each person has, regardless of any distinctions they may possess.
By normalizing conversations about cognitive diversity in our marketing strategies, we aim to foster an even greater sense of community between disabled and non-disabled people alike.
Final Thoughts
Supporting the disabled community is a crucial part of creating a more accepting, equitable society.
There are many ways that you can help spread awareness about the important role our community can have in society.
Show your support with words – write articles, blog posts, and social media messages about the ways that people who identify as disabled are taking the world by storm.
Advocate for their inclusion on committees and boards in your workplaces or community centers.
Most importantly, have difficult conversations with family and friends when you see them using offensive language or making assumptions.
Another way to show your support is by shopping for our apparel and wearing it in public to draw attention to the cause. Not only will you spread the message of inclusion & diversity, but you'll also look great at the same time!
All proceeds from apparel sales go directly back into supporting the cause and continuing our mission to fight for improved representation, access, acceptance, and equity for persons with disabilities.
