Model Duckie Thot took to I am a papa shirt. Twitter to say that while the industry is quick to cast her in campaigns and in runway shows, few brands are taking viable action to support the black community. Today, many are calling out Virgil Abloh, the creative director of Louis Vuitton menswear and founder of Off-White, for what they see as a meager donation to Fempower. The reality is that fashion is an industry that benefits from commodifying and appropriating black culture. Small brands are making an impact and leading on a community level, but there is more work to be done.
I am a papa shirt, hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt
A smart person would pack basics to travel with—yet I, for some reason, chose to pack my loudest printed shirts. I have been wearing them every day to clock in, as though it is a classic black blazer I am a papa shirt. Every sunrise, I slip on one of these maximalist pieces, ready to shock and awe my coworkers on Zoom. A blinding flame-print shirt one day! A trippy patchwork paisley the next! Since Zoom is all about what you wear on your upper-half, my statement tops have also been a clever distraction to the fact that, right now, I actually own very little clothing. This week, I documented five days of these bold, brazen tops (Minimalists, beware.) I had fun dressing them up with some of my favorite summer pieces—from cargo shorts to sleek sunglasses and jewelry. Below, a look at how I got dressed for WFH.
