Lena Dunham Producing Documentary About Tailor Specialising In The LGBTQ Community

September 24, 2014 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

lena-dunhamGirls creator Lena Dunham has long set out her LGBT-ally credentials, including saying she won’t marry her boyfriend until same-sex marriage is legal across the US. Now she’s putting her name and her production company behind a documentary called Three Suits, about a New York tailors that specialises in serving the LGBTQ community.

According to Vanity Fair the doc, about Bindle & Keep, will focus on several of the company’s transgender clients as they have custom suits made, with tailors and the customer coming together to create bespoke clothing perfect to fit each person’s gender identity and expression.

While the staff is largely straight, Bindle & Keep was specifically founded to help those underserved by the fashion industry, which has led them to such things as making clothes for gay weddings and for members of the Orange Is the New Black cast.

To add a little bit of extra interest is the history of the company itself. It was founded by Daniel Friedman, who was ‘An architect who seven years ago suddenly and mysteriously lost the ability to read and write, Friedman found himself unable to find gainful employment. Desperate, he worked toward developing his hand and visual skills, and used them to start making custom clothing. Only recently did he find an explanation. While casually repeating his story during a fitting, a customer burst out a possible diagnosis, “Daniel, you’ve got Lyme disease.”

‘He was right: a severe late-stage form of the tick-borne disease had left Friedman’s untreated brain in peril. The story highlights the extraordinary connection the label maintains with its clients.’

Once complete, the documentary will air on HBO in the US.
