This Fashion Week, designers and editors alike are wearing their passion on their very stylish sleeves.
Anna Wintour was an early adopter of the trend, wearing a “Fashion Stands With Planned Parenthood” button while front row at Brock Collection’s show on Thursday.
On Friday morning, Tanya Taylor’s guests received round pink magnets bearing the same message at her presentation, while Jonathan Simkhai took his finale bow on Saturday night wearing a simple white t-shirt that read “Feminist AF” in bold black lettering (front-row guests each received one in their seats, but the tee is available now on jonathansimkhai.com for $95, with proceeds being donated to Planned Parenthood).
At Public School on Sunday morning, models walked the runway donning red caps declaring “Make America New York.” Immediately afterward, Gypsy Sport opened its show with a heartfelt speech (over a speaker backstage) from its young designer Rio Uribe. Uribe dedicated his show to the “people who live on the street and who just don’t have much fashion in their life or any of the luxuries we take for granted.”
Given that these statements and slogans are being expressed by everyone from veteran industry powerhouses to rising fashion stars, it’s safe to say this trend isn’t fading anytime soon.
