Happy Women's History Month! This month, we are featuring fearless women who have moved mountains for women's social, economic, and cultural equality. ⁠⁠
👩‍🎓 👩‍💼👩‍⚖️👩‍🎨⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Naomi Campbell is one of the these women 👑. As an original supermodel, Campbell began her career in London at the age of 15. She was the first black model to appear on the cover of TIME magazine; French, Russian, and British Vogue; and has been featured in advertisements for Burberry, Prada, Marc Jacobs, Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, and other luxury fashion houses. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Not only is Naomi a global 🌎 sensation, but she is also a recognized advocate for diversity in the fashion industry. She received Fashion Icon Awards from GQ, the Council of Fashion Designers in America, and the British Fashion Council for her contributions to the fashion industry. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
She was also recognized by Nelson Mandela as the "Honorary Granddaughter" of activism. She is a producer for Arise Fashion Week - one of Africa's fashion showcases from the continent's 54 countries - and is making groundbreaking change in the industry. As the lead speaker at Forbes Woman Africa's Leading Women Summit in 2019, she spearheaded the Gucci Changemakers program to launch educational programs in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Today, we recognize her for her partnership with the United Nations to support the International Women's Day Peace March. Are you inspired?

In case you missed it...Schiaparelli’s Spring 20

In case you missed it...Schiaparelli’s Spring 2021 Haute Couture Collection is out of this world! 👀⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Maison Schiaparelli is leading the way for female empowerment with bold designs featuring eccentric jewelry and a pop of neon color. This year’s Haute Couture collection was the vision of Artistic Director Daniel Roseberry, whose focus on the modern woman is reflected in surrealist fashions that pay homage to the late Elsa Schiaparelli. 🖊️⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Known as the greatest rival to Coco Chanel, Schiaparelli was one of the world’s most prominent fashion designers of the 20th century. Her designs were inspired by the male wardrobe, and featured an image of strong and independent women. Some of her innovations include the design of strong shouldered suits, reversible evening dresses, and a travel wardrobe made specifically for the modern traveling woman of the 1940s. Her most famous collaboration was in the 1930s, when she worked with Salvador Dali to design a line of Surrealist-influenced clothing. The collection included lobster print dresses, suits with bureau-drawer pockets, and a shoe hat. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Swipe to see the latest designs of this Surrealist-inspired fashion house. Fun fact: the molded bustier with the electric bow is molded on a pair of mannequins that Elsa Schiaparelli kept in her Paris salon! ✨

"I got my friends in Greek life, and people that are off-campus, since a lot of our meetings are online. I am trying to get as many people as I can from all kinds of different backgrounds and styles to contribute to the club. We don’t want it to be a cookie-cutter type thing. We want it to be a place for all kinds of diversity."⁠⁠

In love with lavender? Here's an early 1950s dress

In love with lavender? Here's an early 1950s dress by Claire McCardell in the @fidmmuseum collection that mixes this pastel shade with other cool, candy-striped hues.

McCardell was one of America's most influential designers; she often teamed with designer Hope Skillman to develop woven textiles like this featherweight cotton chambray with sateen stripes. The result of this fine fabric in McCardell's imaginative hands is sweetly breathtaking. ⁠⁠
