Fashion Brands Celebrating And Supporting Pride Month

While pride month is soon coming to an end a number of brands have been celebrating and keeping the movement alive with clothing to wear all year round and spread the message of love and unity at a time many of us truly need to feel some love. With the fashion world having a global influence with billions of people looking to the fashion world for inspiration and content, its important for brands to use their influence and their platforms for good, both sending out a positive message and standing with the LGBTQ+ community but also putting their money where their mouth is and donating to causes that affect the Pride community.

Much like the Black Lives Matter movement, for many people in the LGBTQ+  community, pride is not just a one of month of celebration and action centred around the community but it is a fight all year round. A fight for equality and human rights we all deserve. So during this time don’t just wave your pride flag and buy the rainbow t-shirts and accessories, research and get yourself educated on the importance behind the community, the pioneers and the people who sacrificed for the community to be were it is now. Ultimately that is what we celebrate and what we must use as an opportunity to be re-inspired by the resilience of human beings and the achievements we can make when we pull together.

Here are some of the brands supporting and spreading some Pride love as well as putting their money where their mouth is.
