OUR STORY

What you wear is a platform for your beliefs.

For Your Viewing Pleasure is a social justice apparel brand based in Los Angeles, California. Designed to spark conversations, our items are a banner to show the world what's in your heart and on your mind. Our focus as a brand is Palestinian liberation, refugee solidarity, and LGBTQ+ equality. We are female-owned and run, and stand with women around the world. In addition to advocacy, FYVP is committed to the fiscal support of organizations who provide humanitarian assistance and work towards collective liberation. Our items raise funds for HEAL Palestine, Slow Factory, Students for Justice in Palestine, Anera, Arab and Middle Eastern Journalists Association, Palestine Children's Relief Fund, Medical Aid for Palestine, Karam Foundation, and Queer Food Foundation. 

FYVP was founded by Vanessa Dahbour and Lara Salmon in 2022 after the success of two t-shirt pilot projects. Vanessa is a Palestinian and Native American designer who previously supported herself creating for companies such as Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie. Lara is a performance artist who has been involved with Palestinian, Syrian and Iraqi refugee solidarity efforts for the last 17 years. On rare days off, Vanessa and Lara can be found exploring a new cookbook or embarrassing themselves on the dance floor.

FYVP makes high-quality apparel in small batches. We work directly with each of our vendors, who are small Los Angeles-based businesses. FYVP re-uses pre and post-consumer materials when possible. All items are shipped to you in 100% recycled poly mailers.

As we grow, FYVP aspires to continually do better.
