“You Are Beautiful:” Fashion’s 2015 Revolution


FTL Moda Leads Fashion Revolution at NYFW

NYFW-ftl-moda-madeleine-stuart-mainIn the realm of social consciousness, fashion seems to have pushed to the absolute forefront in 2015.

Most popular music lost its way a long time ago — mired down in themes of cheap hyper-sexuality, status obsession and fantasies of eternal clubbing — and even comedy can’t seem to keep up. Fashion, long considered the ultimate status tool, reserved for a certain class or shape of people, has bitten back.

“Here,” fashion seems to be saying. “This is me. I am different. I am imperfect. And yet, I am fashion. I am BEAUTIFUL.”

From the advent of plus-size supermodels to the rise of humanistic blogs like Man Repeller, the revolution is on. And that new clarion call in fashion sounded perfectly — and beautifully — in the events from FTL Moda, in partnership with Art Hearts Fashion. The shows also feature some big name talent, in the form of Adriana Lima, among others.
