Gucci's Cruise Collection Supports Women's Reproductive Rights With the Very Important Slogan, "My Body My Choice"

Gucci's Cruise 2020 collection, which took place at Rome's Capitolini Museums, is all about women empowerment. According to an interview with WWD, the brand's Creative Director Alessandro Michele said the show is a "'hymn to freedom' . . . that allows him to express his belief in the idea of self-determination and gender equality."

Models walked down the runway in clothing that supported women's sexual and reproductive health and rights. One such example? The designer had blazers with the slogan "My Body My Choice" boldly stitched on the back. And if the slogan didn't get the point across, the designer embroidered an image of the female reproductive system on a gown, which was embellished with flowers. The date May 22, 1978, was also written on some of the pieces, which signifies the day the Italian law for the social protection of motherhood and legal abortion took effect.

The brand explained more in an Instagram post with the caption, "'My Body My Choice' is a feminist slogan from the '70s which appears on the reverse of this jacket seen before the #GucciCruise20 fashion show by Alessandro Michele. This piece echoes the Creative Director's continuing vision of freedom, equality and self-expression. Since founding Chime For Change in 2013 - the global campaign that represents and advocates for gender equality - Gucci has a longstanding commitment to women and girls by funding projects around the world to support sexual and reproductive rights, maternal health, and the freedom of individual choice. Learn more about the global partners for sexual and family health rights the campaign is donating to in 2019, which can be found in Chime For Change's link in bio."

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
