The partnership offers clothing, intimates, and accessories for all. Moore took classic Hilfiger pieces—such as the pinstripe blazer or oxford button-down shirt—and reworked them aesthetically and functionally. A satin-linen sailing jacket, for example, has an adjustable drawstring waist, while a striped shirtdress has dropped shoulders and strategic darting to fit a wider range of body types.
“I wouldn’t say it’s genderless—I would say it’s genderfull,” says Moore. “I wanted the collection to be something that was inviting to everyone—everybody across a spectrum of human bodies, shapes, sizes, genders, and forms of expression.” Hilfiger adds, “The TommyXIndya partnership is here to make people feel seen, accepted, and included. Working with Indya to share their story has been a unique and inspiring experience.”
Full of fluidity, all products have been redefined to suit all gender expressions, with wide shoulders and adjustable silhouettes.

“My own experience struggling to identify with mainstream fashion informed much of our design process,” Moore tells Stylist. “Gender-neutral collections don’t automatically mean oversized and baggy. The point isn’t to hide your body – it’s meant to be a celebration of the body.”
Moore appears eager to continue her fashion journey. “Fashion wasn’t something I was intentional about. Creating in the realm of this industry, wasn’t an art form I wanted to economize off of. [Growing up] I did cut up little pieces of shirts, and made holes in my jeans, and sewed the graphic part of the shirts onto the spaces in my jeans. I made clothes for myself to express myself and how I felt when I was a young, queer kid. Fashion for me was one of my outlets. Having an opportunity to be colourful in some way. Behind my parents’ back. I would bring in rainbow apparel. I was able to create things I had at home to make me more in alignment with myself. I did those things naturally.”
“When Tommy approached me with this thing I felt this kid come out of me,” Moore said. “That young queer kid that wanted to express themselves to what they were creating. What I expressed with what I created with Tommy is made out of not just my past but also the moments I’m at now and how I think and what I believe in.”
