From Studio Apartment to Style Revolution: WILDFANG Raises $210K to Rethink Fashion's Gender Norms

WILDFANG is thrilled to announce that we have raised $210,000 in our latest funding round—a crucial milestone in our ongoing adventure to redefine fashion and challenge outdated gender norms. Born in a humble studio apartment in Portland, OR, with equal parts nerve and naivety, we cashed in our 401ks and walked away from our corporate day jobs to create a brand that truly questions the status quo. With this fresh injection of capital, we’re poised to accelerate our mission to rethink traditional fashion boundaries. Our journey began with a simple but radical inquiry: Are real pockets revolutionary? Is it too much to ask for a button-up without a boob gap? Today, those questions continue to drive us forward as we explore new designs that embrace the masculine, the feminine, and everything in between. The funds raised will be dedicated to expanding our product lines, enhancing our in-house production capabilities, and investing in the sustainable, innovative design processes that have become our signature. As we work to bring even more thoughtfully crafted, versatile pieces to our loyal customers—both online and in our Portland and LA stores—we remain committed to our community and the causes we support. In fact, since our inception, we’ve given back over $500,000 to various good causes, a tradition we plan to continue and build upon. This funding not only strengthens our ability to produce some damn fine blazers with real pockets, but also reinforces our commitment to fostering inclusivity in the fashion industry. We’re excited for what the future holds and grateful for the continued support as we boldly redefine what it means to dress authentically.
