Across worlds, borders, languages, and in-app chats, Grindr brought together Rainbow Wool\u2019s powerful story with Schmidt\u2019s iconic artistry to celebrate the resilience and creativity that define gay culture.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAt Grindr, connection has always been our core,\u201d said <b>Tristan Pineiro, SVP of Marketing &amp; Communications at Grindr.<\/b> \u201cRainbow Wool\u2019s story mirrors the experience of so many LGBTQ+ people, cast aside for being different, yet thriving through community. Together, we\u2019re proving that connection can transform exclusion into celebratory expression.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nWith Michael Schmidt, whose designs have been worn by icons like Beyonc\u00e9, Lady Gaga, and Cher, at the helm, <i>I Wool Survive<\/i> is a collection that brings gay history and archetypes to life through 36 handcrafted looks spun entirely from Rainbow Wool yarn. From Leathermen to Daddies, Sailors to Firefighters, each piece reimagines gay identity through artistry, humor, and pride.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s been a pleasure to create this light-hearted collection of pieces that also address a very serious topic,\u201d <b>said Schmidt.<\/b> \u201cThe mistreatment of animals that exhibit same-sex attraction is a painful reminder of the prejudice that continues to affect LGBT communities worldwide. Hopefully, by illustrating that homosexuality exists throughout the animal kingdom, we can help put to bed the false and damaging notion that being gay is a choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Grindr <i>I Wool Survive<\/i> runway show, A Michael Schmidt Collection, will debut in New York City on Thursday, November 13, 2025, at The Altman Building (135 W 18th St), followed by an after-party at The Eagle NYC (554 W 28th St).<\/p>\n<p>\nBeyond the runway, Grindr will continue to support Rainbow Wool\u2019s mission throughout 2026, spreading the message that connection, in all forms, can change everything. Select pieces from the <i>I Wool Survive <\/i>collection will be available for auction, supporting LGBTQ+ initiatives worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cScientific studies have shown that around one in twelve rams naturally prefer other males, and while many of these animals are typically sent to slaughter, our farm offers them a different fate,\u201d said <b>farm owner and shepherd, Michael St\u00fccke.<\/b> \u201cThis collaboration with Grindr proves that being gay is part of nature itself, and I\u2019m proud our sheep can help people see love and diversity in a new way. The wool from these rams isn\u2019t just material, it\u2019s a message spun from animals who live freely and are loved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>ABOUT RAINBOW WOOL<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nRainbow Wool is a German social-impact brand founded on a sheep farm near Cologne. Created in collaboration with shepherd Michael St\u00fccke, it produces the world\u2019s first textile made from the wool of gay rams \u2013 saving them from slaughter and turning their wool into a symbol of equality and acceptance.<\/p>\n<p>\nRainbow Wool actively seeks collaborations with fashion, design, and lifestyle brands, turning creativity into activism and raising awareness and funds for LGBTQIA+ rights worldwide.
