We’re not really a fashion site, we don’t dedicate any articles to the hottest fall trends, and we certainly aren’t about to start selling merchandise on our homepage at all. But we don’t hate fashion, in fact we love what a powerful platform it is and how there are people within this billion dollar industry…
We love a good fashion week show that makes headlines! Especially when it has a message that goes beyond just fashion and style, and includes themes of female empowerment. Over the past few years New York Fashion Week has become a place where we are seeing some important statements being made on the runway which…
Over the past few years we have documented the steady and powerful change that is happening in the fashion world. This is a movement that is very slowly starting to wake up to the fact that diversity, inclusivity, body positivity and realistic standards of beauty and health are what consumers are gravitating toward, as are…
New York Fashion Week is one of the 4 major fashion weeks in the world, where the industry’s biggest designers, brands, celebrities, magazine editors, fashionistas and buyers gather to see what will be the next season’s trends.

This is one of our all-time favorite quotes. It sums up why we exist (to change the visible messages in the media) and exemplifies the power of representation. New York Fashion Week 2015 was less about Kanye (sorry Kanye, or are we?) and his Adidas show featuring a Kardashian or two, and more about lesser…
We don’t always talk about New York Fashion Week, but when we do, you can guarantee it involves something exciting and empowering. Designer Carrie Hammer, fast becoming one of our fave fashion gals, has done it again. She may not be a household name like Gucci or Tory Burch (YET!) but every single second of…
Fashion isn’t the only thing people talk about during fashion week. Nope, in the last couple of years it has become the mecca for pushing boundaries when it comes to beauty and style. For a very long time society has been taught to “fit in” but more and more we are seeing designers, brands, and…
Annick Blaize and Sasha Bellentine, the bubbly hosts of the Songwriting Saves The World podcast, return for a third season of their beyond charming, inclusivity focused podcast series. The first episode of Season 3 was released on September 17 with an exciting guest appearance from Finnish-American rising star Miki Ratsula. Following season two with a…
