The fashion industry wants to get out the vote. On Friday, more than 1,000 influential figures from the U.S. fashion industry participated in the “Fashion For Our Future” march in New York City to advocate for democracy and encourage voter registration ahead of November’s general election. First Lady Jill Biden was the surprise keynote speaker at the march, which kicked off the start of New York Fashion Week. The event was organized by Vogue and the Council of Fashion Designers of America.

Participants wore 'Fashion For Our Future' T-shirts emblazoned with the words 'VOTE' on the back, designed by Zac Posen and his team at Old Navy. They started the march at Herald Square and ended at Bryant Park, and carried flags and banners, while chanting 'V-O-T-E Vote!' Browne, who is also chairman of the CFDA told the crowd: “As we stand united, 1,000 plus strong we are reminded that fashion is not just what we wear.
