Trend Forecasting: Protest Fashion- Professional Practice 4/2021

For Professional Practice we had to look into the Macro-trend of Protest Fashion.  I started off by looking into the history of Protest fashion.  The historical elements that stood out to me were the fashions of the Suffrage and Women’s Rights Movements, and the Civil Rights Movement.  What I thought was interesting was that the early Suffrage movement and the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s used the idea of ‘dress your best’ as part of their sartorial protest language.  

I was really interested in the idea of fashion around the women’s rights movement, from Suffrage, to the 1970s, to now, and looked into that deeper.  In the 1970s we saw women throwing away the items that were seen as oppressive and objectifying- lipstick, garters, bras, and stockings.  Now we have seen things such as the Women’s March, where women wore “Pussy Hats” to protest the vulgar comments made by Trump and to de-stigmatize the word “pussy.”  We all know white was seen as a fashion symbol for the Suffrage movement, and I drew connections to modern politics.  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wore white when she was sworn in as the youngest woman elected to Congress, to pay tribute to the women who paved the road for her.  We have seen other women in politics wearing white, such as Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election, and Kamala Harris during the 2020 election.  Many women, including myself, chose to wear white on Election Day in both years, as not only a tribute to women’s suffrage, but as a symbol of the work that still needs to be done in the women’s rights movement. 

With these ideas in mind, I created a trend based on Kamala Harris’s iconic looks- pant suits, pearls, and of course a pair of chucks, to signify the fashion of the new wave of feminism in Politics.  I feel like this board still needs some refining, but I’m happy with what I’ve managed to come up with so far.
