Here are some resources which can provide important information, relevant history, as well as how you can unlearn what we were taught and learn how to be actively Anti-Racist. Do not forget to donate where you can, many of the resources gathered online for non BIPOC are made by BIPOC and they deserve to be compensated for their time.
Systemic racism, implicit biases and micro aggressions
Make sure you watch these educational videos. They are all extremely important, and the information that is shared is necessary in order to comprehend the basics of what it means to be Anti-Racist. You can't solve a problem if you don't understand the problem first.

Collection V is an ode to old fashion glamour, femininity, fantasy and movement. Glamour is an illusion, one which provides an escape from reality. Collection V pays homage to eras of great excess, from the aristocracy of the 1790s to the Hollywood starlets of the 1950s.

“It’s interesting how labor and glamour hold hands with one another. I put myself and my team through some of the hardest and longest work days to make this collection possible.”

“A simple looking tulle skirt, hiding an excess of four and a half yards of fabric. A dress with 408 grommets, another with 34 hand sewn buttons, hundreds of feet of silk ribbons. hand sewn lace inserts, pintucks, boning..."
“Do you believe in fate? Sometimes I think God or the universe is winking at me. After my debut runway show, Collection IV, a deeply intimate reflection of my childhood and relationship with the church, I knew I wanted to do something light hearted and glamorous.”
“On week nights and weekends I watched old films starring Rita Hayworth, Audrey, Marilyn and Sophia Loren. I especially loved watching them play turn of the century women, the extravagant costumes filled me with curiosity and excitement.”

“I visited the New Canaan museum where they let me into their archives, and I was able to see how bustles were gathered and sewn, the crinolines hiding underneath to give shape.”
