Suggestive of both African ceremonial costumes as well as Parisian high fashion, Nick Cave's Soundsuits—named because of the sounds they make when worn—are created from scavenged materials such as beads, old bottle caps, rusty iron sticks, and hair woven and crocheted together. They combine Cave's interests in fashion, culture, and the intersection of politics. By concealing their wearers' race, gender, and class, Cave's works allow individuals to escape or transcend prescribed identities.
We discovered Art to Ware last summer and immediat We discovered Art to Ware last summer and immediately fell in love with the concept: a curated collection of upcycled, wearable art from independent and emerging designers in New York City. With help from Chashama, a non-profit that transforms unused real estate into artist spaces, founder Lesley Ware has set up several pop-up boutiques across Manhattan that give young creatives a platform for sharing their work.The latest endeavor at the Port Authority spotlighted the work of NYC fashion/art creatives, topped off with a collaboration from hair artist Brieana Spruill, who brought her A-game with an array of upcycled wigs.Link in bio to our article on No Kill Mag!

Today is the 100th anniversary of Diane Arbus birt Today is the 100th anniversary of Diane Arbus birthday. Born Diane Nemerov on March 14, 1923, in New York City, Diane Arbus was one of the most distinctive photographers of the 20th century, and was largely misunderstood in her time. She was considered highly controversial and accused of exploiting her subjects. The reality is that she felt a connection and empathy that perhaps made others uncomfortable. A recent book by David Zwirner Books and Fraenkel Gallery entitled Diane Arbus, DOCUMENTS is like two books in one. One focus is on her work –radical, upending social niceties, breaking our collective understanding of what a photograph is– and the other, is 50+ years of unceasing argument about what her work means. Edited by Max Rosenberg and designed by Yolanda Cuomo and Bonnie Briant, it is an explosive and expressive attempt to “create” Arbus for the reader/viewer. Here are a few photos and excerpts from Arbus' own writing/thoughts. Full article on book on No Kill Mag.comNOTE: we feel at this particular moment in time, when those who are considered "freaks" or "different" by some, are being attacked in this country both literally and through our legal system it's important that ALL of our differences be seen and celebrated.@davidzwirner @davidzwirnerbooks @fraenkelgallery @yolandacuomodesign.

Caring about fashion and the planet isn't just abo Caring about fashion and the planet isn't just about the materials but also about workers' rights. The current model of production in the fashion industry is ripe for worker exploitation. It's a modern form of colonization and it's unacceptable.So when we saw the headlines and articles about this activist action aimed at @adidas during Berlin fashion week we wanted to learn more.It's a fascinating story of how prankster/activists @theyesmen joined forces with @cleanclothescampaign and @threadsandtits to not just protest but IMAGINE what adidas would do if they wanted to do the right thing.Illana Winterstein said
"(we asked) What could they do? What would be a utopian vision, and what would we want adidas to do if they were the ethical leaders they position themselves as?"There were two parts to the activist action. One was the (fake) announcement of a revolutionary restructuring of adidas' leadership team with a new female co-CEO. A former Cambodian factory worker who would oversee ethics and ensure respect for human rights.And then there’s the “RealityWear” clothing line. Which debuted at Berlin Fashion Week with a sold-out fashion show at a venue opposite adidas’ flagship store.The collection was deliberately offensive because what we put down the runway was the reality of what happens to workers in adidas’ supply chain. There’s union-busting, poverty wages, rampant abuse and violations."The Yes Men sent out a brilliant press release that stated the collection was in collaboration with Bad Bunny, @pharrell and Brooklyn's own @philllllthyThe news made headlines and many people were in awe that adidas had the guts to make changes that would benefit their workers. Only it wasn't true.Adidas has mostly ignored this but we're not. Please read the interviews at No Kill Mag and get involved and tell #adidaspayyourworkersPS - yes, we know adidas is not the only brand practicing wage theft. This post highlights this particular action in Berlin. And they told us adidas was chosen in part because their "impossible is nothing" branding is all about empowerment and it was time to call out their hypocrisy

it's #internationalwomensday and #icymi our recent it's #internationalwomensday and #icymi our recent culture dose could have been made for this day.READ: ON THIS DAY SHE: Putting women back into history one day at a time.
Every woman has a story from Queen Elizabeth to Béyonce, Doria Shafik to Lillian Bilocca, and others forgotten to history. Authors Jo Bell, Tania Hershman, and Ailsa Holland correct that imbalance, using each page to profile the women left out of daily narratives. All races, nationalities, eras, and backgrounds explore the icons and adventurers that have paved the way and opened the doors for the future.WATCH: Women Talking
Originally a novel by Miriam Toews, the film covers the isolated, religious community confined by traditional values and gender roles. When generations of women come together to confess their treatment that has remained hidden for years, a choice is made: to stay or go? Grappling with their faith and the unseen world the women discuss what it means to confront womanhood and the well-being of themselves and the community.LISTEN
The decade of the 1970s gave us many things: bell bottoms, flower power, and Ms. Magazine, the first national American feminist magazine. Over 50 years later the publication is still going strong, now expanding and covering the resilient women of today and the ongoing fight for equality. The continuation of the magazine has now included a podcast On the Issues with Michele Goodwin, a show dedicated to reporting rebelling, and telling it like it is. In addition to addressing contemporary issues faced by the everywoman, the podcast features the series Fifteen Minutes of Feminism where invited guests speak on their field, barriers faced, and accomplishments made along the way.
