On the occasion of pride month this upcoming June, the brand created seven lingerie sets including lacey bras, knickers, and suspenders, in the colours of the Pride flag. Defying stereotypes, anyone can wear this lingerie which is a way to highlight self-confidence according to the brand. The visuals of the new collection offer a colourful universe, specific to the world of drag queens, which does not go unnoticed. “This rainbow-themed collection is all about loving and celebrating who you are” states the brand whose mission is to redefine sensuality with its lingerie and nightwear line. 

The brand wants to be committed to this cause,  as ten percent of the collection’s sales will be donated to OutRight Action International, supporting their vital work for LGBTIQ communities and ensuring the world is a safer place for LGBTIQ people. 

The brand shared on its Instagram account several backstage clips with the two flamboyant queens Brooke Lynn Hytes and Vanessa Vanjie Mateo, and also organized a giveaway for the event.

A successful campaign to empower LGBTIQ people across the world to be bold, fierce, and apologetically themselves.

And it makes perfect sense — after all Demna Gvasalia is not only the artistic director who creates incredible looks for Balenciaga, he is also the official curator of Apple Music. And RuPaul’s not just famous for his incredible drag stylings, but also for massive chart-topping hits such as “Supermodel”, “Sissy That Walk”, and “Cover Girl” (and was a famed performer before that in 80s and 90s gay clubs). Meaning both artists are incredibly talented in creating stylings for both the eyes and the ears. 

The Balenciaga X RuPaul playlist takes your mind to an exhilarating place as it guides you through powerful anthems from icons including Lady Gaga, Donna Summer, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Beyoncé, and of course RuPaul himself. And best of all, it can be streamed or downloaded anywhere via Apple Music. 

And as if this wasn’t fantastic enough, the collaboration has an amazing fashion element to it too (how could it not?). For those who want to wear their expression, there is also a limited-edition line of Balenciaga X RuPaul wears, including fabulous unisex t-shirts, hoodies, and hats, all adorned with a print of RuPaul’s stylish signature. The mini-collection is modelled by both RuPaul himself, along with fellow famed club fixture Susanne Bartsch.

Season six of RuPaul’s Drag Race will premiere on Netflix UK later today.

The series that made history in the world of entertainment due to its LGBTQ+ diverse cast, representative topics and complex narrative has come to an end, with its last episode airing last night.

Ryan Murphy, producer and co-creator of the series alongside Brad Falchuk and Steven Canals, celebrated its end and international success with an emotional Instagram post in which he expressed the importance of the show in his life.

“Along with my children, this show is one of the things in my life I am the most proud of.”

Ryan Murphy

Since its first episode, Pose has made history, for the number of LGBTQ+ actors and actresses on the set. Never have there been so many transgender actresses on a small screen project. A change that can be highly accredited to Murphy.

But Pose did not make history exclusively through the balance of its serious and often dramatic plot and the glamorous aesthetic, Pose represented a contrast in the world of vogueing. It showed the highs and lows of a community by highlighting the discrepancy between its looks and discrimination.

But we’ll stop talking about the plot, for now, in case you haven’t seen it yet.

In honour of the end of this glamorous show we’ve collected our favourite looks over its duration. Ones that we believed marked not only the series storyline, but our appeal to it.

Included in the vibrant range is a 25 pan eye shadow palette including all shades with empowering names such as ‘spread kindness’ and ‘act with love.’ The colours as you’d expect are highly pigmented rainbow hues. There is also a seven-piece brush set and hand mirror available.

100% of the net profit from the collection (a minimum of a $200000 donation) will go towards The Trevor Project, a 24/7 suicide prevention and crisis intervention for members of the LGBTQ community. Some of their most recent achievements include receiving over 150,000 calls from those who have reached out for support and an education programme with resources for youth-serving adults and organizations that fight against anti-LGBTQ.

As the face of the collection, they have none other than queer icon Todrick Hall. A mega-talented singer, songwriter, actor, director and choreographer he skyrocketed to fame from American Idol and now has nearly 2 million followers on Instagram. Check out our exclusive interview with Todrick Hall in Issue 25: The New Gen Warriors! https://issuu.com/voirfashion/docs/issue_25_nikita_dragun_purple/86

The post Morphe Has Released Their Live With Love Collection for Pride Month appeared first on Voir Fashion.

It’s now June, and Pride month this year is full of new and exciting surprises in the fashion scene… the most unexpected drop is perhaps Balenciaga’s pride collection, especially considering how unwilling these fashion houses are to drop their aesthetics for the purpose of spreading a message. And Demna Gvasalia at Balenciaga is certainly continuing to amaze us this year, even after the Gucci ‘hacking’ collaboration. It is always a sore point in fashion when it comes to being political, especially considering how much designs need to be simplified to get the message across. But Balenciaga took the message to heart this year and used this capsule collection to commit and direct awareness towards such an urgent social issue. 

Available in selected stores and online, items in this collection include baseball caps, shirts, hoodies, waistbands, underwear, sports bra, and more. Its wearability fits their selling point, with two unique designs (still very conforming to the issue) that we predict will be seen on nearly every influencer for this pride month. 

The first design comes in a varsity-style lettering that spells out “GAY PRIDE BALENCIAGA 2021”, with the word GAY emblazoned with a rainbow flag. Every look of the collection announces pride in a simple yet straightforward style. While some designs highlight the rainbow flag, others focus on the though-provoking lettering. A colorful rainbow can be seen around the waist of men and women’s underwear, and whilst it’s not the first brand to have embraced this design, Balenciaga always knows how to make their clothes irresistible. Other rainbow styles include socks, party bracelets, and fake fur shoulder strap coin purses. But if you want to opt for more low key staples from the collection, the metal brooches are very eccentric and the collection of colourful caps are to die for.

This collection not only actively celebrates this unprecedented pride month, but also largely supports the Trevor Project and its mission to end LGBTQ youth suicide. Balenciaga will donate 15% of the sales price from the Pride 2021 capsule collection to The Trevor Project. Founded in 1998, it is the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ young people, offering 24/7 intervention suite, advocating for the approval of pro-LGBTQ legislations and helping young LGBTQ people in crisis. Whilst this collection may not steal the show in terms of its designs, it is certainly always appreciated when brands speak out about these matters in such an unfiltered, loud, and direct way, and we’re here for it.

The post Beyond Fashion Values With Balenciaga: The GAY PRIDE 2021 Capsule Collection appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Coach have been a long-time supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, and in over 70 years the brand have never failed to celebrate Pride month in style. So, in honour of Pride 2020 Coach have unveiled, for the first time ever, an entire Pride collection. (*round of applause please*)

In previous years, we’ve seen Coach celebrate Pride from strength to strength, by directing short films to the release of unique products to mark the month; however, they have kicked things up a notch this year to launch a brand new twenty-piece collection.

Yes, that is right. The new line houses a range of gender-neutral accessories and attire, all of which are decked with Coach’s iconic signature ‘C’ logo and have been ‘Pride-ified’ in a multi-colour palette. It features everything from a geometric, knitted button-up cardigan, to a Coach embellished bucket hat, to our personal favourite, rainbow sliders. And just to highlight again, everything is gender-inclusive with this collection.

Along with the new launch even comes a special campaign, named “We C You”. It stars actor/comedian Rickey Thompson, singer Kim Petras and Bob the Drag Queen in a promotional video to share the moment when they truly felt seen for the first time. In the video Bob the Drag Queen expressed how she often turned to other Drag artists to feel acceptance and to be welcomed into the community. She said: “I felt seen when I saw Bebe Zahara Benet, who is this amazing African drag queen, and thought to myself “well if she can be seen, I can be seen.”

As expected, Coach didn’t stop at a new campaign and launch. They also announced that they’ve made donations to their longstanding partner the Hetrick-Martin Institute, and new partners, GLSEN and the Albert Kennedy Trust. All of which are organisations supporting the LGBTQ+ community. Carlos Becil, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Coach said in a press release:

“We are proud to continue our long-time support of the LGBTQ+ community with a film series celebrating its courageous and optimistic spirit — this month and every month. The campaign’s message of inclusivity and authentic self-expression is very important to us, and we were honoured to work with creatives from the community to bring it to life.”

There has never been a more perfect time to shop at Coach and to support a campaign. So, whether you are needing a new Pride bag in your life or simply having a browse, join us to view the entire Pride collection on the Coach website.
