Most people remember where they were in June 2022 when Roe vs. Wade was overturned, the fashion set included. Designer Prabal Gurung recalls being with family. Outlier’s Willie Norris was in between stops on the New York City subway. Screenwriter, model, and designer Peshawn Bread was working on set for Marvel’s TV show, Echo. But even those with no real recollection of where they were, remember exactly how they felt. “I was so absolutely shocked,” says Diane von Furstenberg.
” Gurung furthered these sentiments, adding that he fundamentally believes the two are intertwined. “Fashion can be glamorous, joyous and fun, but it is also a visual communicator to send a message to show who you are, and what you stand for.” But as the designer points out, we can’t have joy without securing our foundational and fundamental rights. When it comes to the T-shirts themselves, each designer made their tops with some iteration of the slogan—“We Decide”—and their identities in mind.
