Pride 365: Celebrating the LGBTQ+ Community Beyond June

Originally Published on the SCARLETTE MAGAZINE website on July 2, 2023

The LGBTQ+ community stands as a powerful and influential force in shaping the landscape of modern fashion, leaving an indelible mark on the industry. Past and present, individuals within the LGBTQ+ community have not only contributed significantly to the world of fashion but have become iconic figures in their own right. The legacy of LGBTQ+ fashion icons such as Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, Alexander McQueen, and Laverne Cox resonates, showcasing the community's profound impact.

The LGBTQ+ community's influence extends beyond individual figures to a rich history within the realm of fashion design. Designers like Marc Jacobs, Pierre Cardin, Michael Kors, and Giorgio Armani have made lasting contributions to the industry, each bringing a unique perspective and style that has shaped fashion trends globally.

While Pride Month may have concluded, the celebration of queer voices and contributions within the fashion and beauty realms should persist throughout the year. It is essential to continue supporting queer-owned fashion and beauty brands, acknowledging their unique perspectives and promoting inclusivity within the industry. By doing so, we can foster a more diverse and representative fashion landscape that resonates with the values of the LGBTQ+ community.
