Tailors Rae Tutera and Daniel Friedman show off their suits for transgender clients in a new documentary, Suited.
The Girls creator and star produced an HBO documentary chronicling the rise of the duo’s store, Bindle & Keep. Directed by Jason Benjamin, the film premieres June 20.
The film follows the stories of clients, many of whom are transgender, as they come into the shop to find a perfect outfit.
“They all have fascinating lives and do really interesting things. Their gender and their gender presentation is just really the tip of the iceberg of who they are,” said Dunham in an interview with W magazine.
For their Sundance premiere, the entire crew, including Dunham, wore suits made by the Brooklyn company.
“I just felt strong and beautiful and powerful, which was really cool and unexpected,” said Dunham.

Not a fan of Dunham, not by far, so I suspect if I buckle down to watch this I’ll find perpetuation of some of the worst trans misconceptions.
That said, the models are cute af. Hello gentlemen. *fans self*
I’m not familiar with Dunham at all -- rock. me. under.
Two words: White Feminist.
Oh. Gotcha.
