Pinstripes and Bustiers: Gender Equality
“Achieving gender equality requires the engagement of women and men, girls and boys. It is everyone’s responsibility. ”
As my love affair for fashion grows deeper, my ability to express myself through clothes grows stronger. Ralph Lauren took this quintessential masculine pinstripe pattern and reimagined it in the form of a bustier to celebrate the feminine silhouette.
The design of this pinstripe bustier reminds me of the responsibility that we all have to achieve gender equality. All of us as human beings can be strong and tough, but at the same time soft and vulnerable. As a mom, I can be nurturing and loving, but as a business woman I can be aggressive and firm.
I refuse to let gender identity impede my talents and potential. Roles viewed as masculine or feminine are illusions which limit our progression toward true gender equality. I am all of them and none of them. The Joy of J.
