Who we are
Nova Edge Threads is the Queer, Trans, and Intersectional pride apparel shop. Primarily online with local NYC pop-ups. We supply wearable tools for pride, protest, and confident self-expression.
Our brand is genuine, value-driven, inclusive, and community-focused, made to be a reflection of the people who wear it. Pride without limits, unapologetic by design.
Our mission is to uplift QT people, give our community the tools to authentically express pride in their identity, culture and/or disability while paying it forward. 10% of profits go to grassroots organizations serving marginalized community members.
Why we're here
We didn't see anything for us, so we created it.
With the relentless attacks on our community, we will always stand firm as a beacon of unapologetic joy and powerful self-expression and the antithesis of rainbow capitalism and fast fashion.
Our apparel is crafted sustainably with high-quality materials, designed to be genderless and fit all body types. We bring you the style and silhouettes you’ve been craving and offer a range in product types for our beautifully diverse community.
Forget the basic see-through pride shirts made by a companies with questionable values.
HOW
We're built by and for the QT community
During our official launch at Brooklyn Pride in 2025, we had a line to join our email list with many people returning to our tent to buy the products they spotted while walking down 5th Avenue. The positive impact was palpable. The excitement, joy and laughter we shared with visitors reinforced the why behind our mission. With direct feedback from the community, we create and collaborate to elevate pride-wear for the Queer & Trans Community.
Our values are unique. Unapologetic Design, Networked Community- Inclusivity and Intersectionality- Quality and Sustainability- Equity & Evolution.

THE CREATOR
"I didn't see anything out there that spoke to me as a Queer, Trans, Non-Binary Gaysian who wanted masc leaning fits with bold but minimal designs. So I began to create. I wanted to create high-quality pride-wear that celebrates QT People of the Global Majority and People with Disabilities. It's a passion project that allowed me the space and time to connect with- and give back to- my community."

SHOP BY COLLECTION
The bold unapologetic self-expression that fuels queer fashion today is rooted in the legacy of Black & Brown Women, especially Trans Women. Their courage, creativity & resistance have profoundly shaped the LGBTQIA+ rights and culture that we all proudly share today. The language, the lingo, the fierce delivery of shade that so many attribute to the Gay Community- is in truth- from the beautiful Black Women in our lives. From the ballroom to the frontlines of liberation, their ongoing contributions are invaluable. We honor them by committing to resourcing our community organizations who center the most marginalized in our communities.
BTTF is a collective of Black Trans artists, organizers, cultural workers, and visionaries, united by our commitment to advocating for and celebrating Black Trans Women around the world. Their mission as a Black trans led collective is to provide Black trans women with financial and material resources towards education, community, safety and removing travel barriers. LEARN MORE
