you know when you look at the way people talked about certain issues in the past and are all 'whoooa i can't believe people talked like that...' around issues of race and culture, maybe. homosexuality. tolerance isn't across the board these days, but it is way better than it was for so many. and we kind of almost laugh about how ignorant and idiotic the previous sentiments could be. you know? well i hope in the not so far future that is how we'll look back at today and the way that trans people are spoken to/about.

this past wednesday was international transgender day of remembrance.  tdor was created to give space to the memories of those who were killed by hateful, prejudiced, anti-trans violence. you can read all about it.

this is an extra special feminist friday cause it is ALSO a spring collection post, and NOT in a 'ugh, fashion, why you such an assssshole?!' way. amazing, right?

oh, oh. if i could be at one fashion show this year. just one. this. rick owens. something remarkable happened. my twitter, my instagram, all the fashion-internets was exploding the day of this show. people were so excited. moved. my heart aches from all the joy of this show. there are shots of the dancers backstage after crying. please let us see more like this on the runway. these bodies are so strong. so amazing.



rick owens worked with choreographers lauretta malloy noble and leeanet noble. the dancers are from four stepping troops: the washington divas, soul steppers, the momentums, the zetas.
