LGBT History Month
Throughout 2017 fashion dove head first into the powerful trend of adding political context to shows and collections. Public School’s Fall/Winter collection stood against the newly elected President Donald Trump by recreating his “Make America Great Again” merchandise, Anniesa Hasibuan’s show only featured models in hijabs to oppose Trump’s ‘Muslim Ban’, and Prabal Gurung’s collection presented a variety of feminist slogans including “The Future is Female” and “Revolution has no Borders”.
