In 2017, Menchaca launched Sin Ropa, a fashion brand that translates to "without clothes" in Spanish. The name was a deliberate nod to the idea of shedding societal expectations and embracing one's true self. Through Sin Ropa, Menchaca aimed to create a platform that celebrated Latinx culture, queer identity, and body positivity.
While Penelope Menchaca and Sin Ropa are fictional, the ideas they represent are alive in today’s art and fashion discourse. The gallery exists as a thought experiment, a space for readers to reimagine their relationship with clothing and self-expression.
