@anitadolcevita on queer birder style: “What’s important for me when I write style features like these is not to tell people how to do things the ‘right way’ or push product on folks. What’s important for me is being seen, while also expanding how the world views the depth and breadth of queer diversity. Because, when you look around, we are there. Everywhere. We are in the park, birding, like Chris Cooper.” Full article at www.dapperQ.com

For their HawkWatch International collection photoshoot, @birdcollective worked with two New York City denizens who thrive on outdoor culture: Mikey and Eyeris. Together they started @outsideclothesnyc , an Instagram-based collection of stories about New Yorkers who love being outside. Their work reveals the beautiful collision of urban and natural environments, and the sometimes simple and often ingenious ways people inhabit them. Outside Clothes also serves as an informational hub for outside activities going on in cities.
“the culture belongs the people”, “you want to learn about your neighborhood? go to the park”, we need to have public gathering spaces for people to relax, create, co-exist, they all have something to offer…” - Outside Clothes.
