Peau de Loup
Peau de Loup (PDL) is a fashion brand founded by Adelle Renaud, a designer and product developer, and Erin McLeod, an Olympic champion and activist. PDL seeks to provide gender-fluid clothing that is outside of the binary. Frustrated with the lack of options that cater to non-binary individuals, the duo created their own fit system in 2012 that favors body shape and size over gender.
Starting as a line of button-down shirts, PDL has expanded into a full range of offerings with expansive sizing, inspired by the quality of menswear but not constrained by patriarchal notions of dressing. All PDL products are built from short runs of upcycled fabrics, creating limited-edition styles that are sustainable and unique. As a small queer and feminist founded business, PDL is fueled by the support of its community, and is committed to challenging gender norms in fashion and promoting inclusivity for all.
