Fashion blogs and fashion in general often tend to be very superficial. As for the most part fashion is about our appearance, it’s not very hard for fashion enthusiasts to become self centered and shallow (I always have to keep myself in check), but this video is like a breath of fresh air. The author of fashion film series “Get Back, Stay Back!” Nick Knight states,"Women should have the right to wear whatever they want, whenever they want, without fear of being attacked. The purpose of these fashion films is to help give women the ability to defend themselves wherever necessary. I’ve always argued fashion has a larger voice, rather than just reflecting beauty, it also assumes a political stance. Get Back, Stay Back! is a very important piece and will show that fashion has a central role in our society. If this story could save one woman from being raped or attacked, it will have served its purpose.” For other shorts from these series go to Get Back, Stay Back page.
And what made me even more excited about this video is that a while ago I did a more casual DIY version of the Givenchy skirt. Do you remember?
