Author:Whitney BauckUpdated:Sep 23, 2019Original:Sep 23, 2019While a flock of photographers crowded the streets of Milan to capture images of the parade of influencers leaving the much-discussed Versace show on Friday, a different kind of procession was happening on the streets of New York.
Among their ranks were a host of fashion industry folks. Outdoor retailers like Patagonia and Burton closed their local stores for the day so their employees could join the march, while designer Mara Hoffman gathered with her colleagues and and their kids to make signs. Model Activist , a group of models that advocate for a more just and sustainable fashion industry, coordinated their outfits to match their signs and marched together.
Davey Mitchell, a performance artist and costume maker who's been working in the city since the early '80s, took a different approach to DIY. He wore a costume printed with an image he'd taken of trees in Central Park and wore a garland of fake flowers around his head, completing the look with a sign reading "Save Planet Earth.
Still others opted for subtler ways to get their message across: a shirt covered with waves, calling to mind rising sea levels, or a top covered in lips that coordinated with a sign emblazoned "Read my lips: act now."
