“I Say I.”

There is tension in the climate, a penetrating aura of frustration that seeks to buck the patriarchal status quo. The surge began in 2016 with the U.S. presidential election and the rise of movements like #MeToo and Time’s Up as a result of men in power, who for so long, acted lasciviously without consequence. Fashion took note and, more importantly, took a side immediately, with many labels presenting collections during the fall of 2017 that trumpeted equality, diversity, and empowerment for all. The swell of revolt, perhaps regrettably, has since subsided—but not for Maria Grazia Chiuri.
