The Áo Dài Festival

Named after the traditional Vietnamese garment, the Áo Dài Festival leverages fashion as a powerful vehicle for sharing and connecting with Vietnamese culture and history. Activist and founder Jenny Do also emphasizes affecting positive change through art, and uses her platform to raise awareness of social issues such as human trafficking, women’s rights, and child abuse.

The Hijabi Chronicles

Created in 2014 by hip hop artist, emcee, and human rights activist Alia Sharrief, the Hijabi Chronicles aims to give Muslim women in hip hop proper representation and celebrates their creativity and diversity through the lens of modesty.

Urban Native Era

The brainchild of Joey Montoya (Lipan Apache), Urban Native Era (UNE) aims to increase the visibility of Indigenous Peoples through fashion and design. More than a decade on, UNE crafts minimal yet powerful designs to create timeless garments that are made for everyone.
