The Brooklyn-based fashion haus, founded in 2002, creates daring, empowering, show-stopping custom and ready-to-wear styles. BUTCH DIVA, also known as "spandex and chaos", sets leading trends by representing everything that is feminine, fun, and confident; utilizing hand-selected graphic prints that encourage women to express their individuality!

BUTCH DIVA Founder and Designer, Tiffany Rhodes,  was born and raised in the East New York area of Brooklyn. By following in her mother’s footsteps, Tiffany enrolled in The High School of Fashion Industries in Manhattan, and went on to graduate from FIT. In 2002, while brainstorming a brand name, Tiffany created a term that described the ideal woman she wanted to design for:  a BUTCH DIVA.

"Butch" expresses androgyny, masculine aggression, and a tough edge, while "Diva" is still sexy, feminine, bossy, and in control. Tiffany joined the two concepts and stood confident behind her vision.

Prior to starting her own company, Tiffany worked for Sean John, Catherine Malandrino, Alice + Olivia, and Ralph Lauren. A true queen of the night, Tiffany took the NYC fashion scene by storm, spreading awareness of the brand and grasping the attention of future loyal clients by wearing her pieces out and creating a buzz that would define some of todays most influential trends.

Over the years, customized BUTCH DIVA has been featured on Nicki Minaj, Dancehall Queen Patra, Lil Kim, K. Michelle, Kat Graham, Jonte Moaning, and many other select indie artists and aspiring icons.
