For once, a white handkerchief is being raised not as a sign of surrender, but as a show of resistance.
Business of Fashion editor-in-chief Imran Amed wrote last week a stinging indictment of the fashion industry's silence over President Donald Trump's besieged travel ban.
Fashion designers answered the call by incorporating white handkerchiefs on runways and invitations--a sign of solidarity for the refugees and legal residents who have been wrongly turned away as a result of the president's ban.
Models for Tommy Hilfiger's show were spotted wearing the white bandanas, and the invitation to Raf Simons's first show for Calvin Klein arrived with a white bandana and the hashtag #tiedtogether.
\u201cWhite bandanas are worn in support of human unity and inclusiveness. How will you wear yours? #TiedTogether: https://t.co/nsCCybb6Oq\u201d— The Business of Fashion (@The Business of Fashion) 1486662913
