Cameron Russell Calls out Photographers Who Sexually Assault Fashion Models (The Telegraph)
"She has been re-posting stories on her Instagram from fashion models who say they have suffered sexual abuse at the hands of photographers and casting directors. Russell describes seeing women from the film industry speaking out against Harvey Weinstein as a motivation for publishing the pieces."

The Fashion World Speaks Out: 'Without Immigration, We'd Be Selling Potato Sacks' (The Guardian)
"Jigsaw filled billboards with posters emblazoned with "♥ immigration", to counter hostility towards immigrants since the Brexit vote. The London mayor, Sadiq Khan, was among the thousands who took to social media to applaud the campaign. Another wave of xenophobia swept the world after the US election."

Clothing Swaps Can Be a Lifeline for Queer and Trans People (Racked)
"For years, clothing exchanges have provided an important space for LGBT people, giving them access to clothing that helps them express their gender identity and orientation. A trans man might exchange his feminine clothing with a femme non-binary person, for instance."

Why Do Members of the Alt-Right Love Polos and Khakis So Much? (Highsnobiety)
"Just like the term "alt-right" itself, this polo-and-khakis uniform is an attempt to cloak racism in a thin veneer of mainstream acceptability. It allows its devotees to disassociate from the genocidal elements of rightwing ideology and present an alternative form of racism through clothes."

New York's Spring 2018 Runways Beat London, Paris and Milan in Every Diversity Category (Fashionista)
"There were a record number of plus-size, trans or non-binary and over-50 models cast this season. New York led the way in every category, 90 of the 93 plus-size model castings of the month took place in New York. However, London, Paris and Milan still have work to do."
