I am a big believer in fashions ability to help forward different rights. One way fashion has helped a rights movement is the right to be an individual.
Now some people will say that all fashion is the same. That it has an agenda to make everyone look a certain way and act a certain way. That it levels no room to be an individual. That it promotes materialism.
I am saying that is only true if you allow what people say about fashion to dictate your feelings on it.
Fashion is not meant to make people unhappy and identical. It is meant to give people unlimited options to create persona's that are unique to them.
Fashion has helped lead the way for women to show their sensual and sexual sides without feelings of guilt (in most cases).
Fashion is paving the way for men to show their softer sides as well. From skirts and dresses made for men to soft pastel colors being incorporated into men's wear, men have more options than ever to find a way to show off another facet of their being.
Beyond helping men and women break out of their shells fashion is also leading the way with saving the Earth.
Many designers are choosing to go green by making their goods from organic materials or materials made from sustainable products.
From clothes, to shoes, to jewelry, to make-up, fashion gives people the option to be anything they want to.
Fashion is probably one of the best leaders of most rights movements. Celebrities, designers, and everyday people use it to further what they believe and make a stand.
