👖 Modeling Club + Fashion With a Purpose Club: Denim Day in Motion
Celebrating Denim Day with a powerful collaboration during our Variety Show! ✨👖 Our Modeling Club and Fashion with a Purpose Club came together to advocate for Denim Day and the right to wear what you want. Denim Day was originally started in 1999 after an Italian court ruling overturned a rape conviction, stating the victim’s jeans were too tight to have been removed without her consent. In response, women in the Italian parliament wore jeans to show solidarity, and Denim Day was born as a global movement to stand against sexual violence and promote self-expression. 💙 Together, we’re spreading the message of empowerment and advocating for change through fashion. We captured some behind-the-scenes footage before the show and throughout the night, and we can’t wait to share it with you all today. Huge thanks to Ms. David and Ms. Geffrard for their guidance and support with these clubs! 🎥
