Ryder Skye Empowers the Word Slut with New Clothing Line

LOS ANGELES—Ryder Skye believes that the word "slut" has a bad reputation—a reputation she aims to improve with her wearables line, Slutwear Clothing. After more than a decade in adult entertainment, Skye has received more than her fair share of slut-shaming. By taking the sting from the word and emphasizing its positive associations with support, love, unity and tolerance, Ryder hopes to reclaim the word and put a positive spin on it. "Slutwear is a concept, redefined, to encourage empowerment, self-love, and freedom of expression through statement driven fashion," notes the Slutwear website. "The only power that comes from words is that of which we give them. We define words; they do not define us." The line currently consists of fashionable T-shirts, hoodies, and hats. Sports bras, crop tops, and racerback tanks are also available for females. Each of the items is adorned with engaging phrases and designs. In the future, pet apparel will be available as well. Slutwear offers a $5.99 flat rate shipping on orders over $49 or free shipping on orders over $99. For more Ryder Skye, visit RyderSkye.com and SuchASlut.com.
