Last November, in time for the U.S. Elections, David and I took part in a great campaign, organized by the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM, to encourage our students--as well as the public--to VOTE! Because of our positions, as Fashion Designers as well as the Co-Chairpersons of the Fashion Design Program at FIDM, we wanted to make the campaign a little more "fun" and bring in the fashion aspect, especially to highlight the importance for the "younger generation" to exercise their right to VOTE. Well, you might ask "What's The Fashion Aspect in Elections?" Our answer was "Vote! It's In Fashion", a nonpartisan get-out-the-vote campaign to get our FIDM students--and the general public--to vote, especially during this past very consequential election. David and I did a fun photoshoot with different photos that were released through the FIDM social media channels in the weeks leading up to the November 2020 Election...
Since it's Inauguration Time, I thought it would be a perfect time to do a BLOG about the Campaign that we did and the photos from the photoshoot--Enjoy...and Happy (and Safe!) Inauguration!
