    Throughout history, from the suffragette movement to the Black Lives

    Matter T-shirts worn, clothing and style have played an important role in

    social movements.

    Historically, activism and fashion were always linked to bringing about

    social change. Social movements have gained visual currency through

    certain clothes through the ages. 

    During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the United

    States, the Suffragette movement fought for the right of women to vote. 

    The Suffragette movement was able to use fashion as a political and

    campaign tool. 

    Instead of heavy Victorian-style dresses, they wore pants. Women started

    wearing pants that they weren’t supposed to wear, which marked a new era

    for women. As a result, they chose to present themselves as strong,

    independent women instead of adhering to traditional expectations.


    In the 1960s, the mini skirt rose to prominence. The piece was seen as an

    expression of political dissent, an act of rebellion.
