Feminist Fashion By Joanna Neve
With International Women’s Day and Mother’s Day taking place this month, it’s the perfect time to reflect upon some well known and prominent feminists. Angelina Jolie, Emma Watson and Beyoncé are all well known for their views on women’s empowerment, and yet they’re all so different. Each of them has her own character and style, which makes them seem so confident and unique. In a world of similarity and conformity, maybe we could take some inspiration from these women and develop our own look. When you look and feel like yourself, that’s when you’re most confident!
Emma Watson
Known for her role in Harry Potter and Disney’s recent adaption of Beauty and the Beast, Emma Watson is a very famous actress who has really come into her own character over time. She’s openly criticised the sexualisation of women in the film industry and has spoken about women’s rights at the UN too. She said, “We need to live in a culture that values and respects and looks up to and idolizes women as much as men.” In terms of style, Emma Watson doesn’t conform to what’s going on in fashion. She’s often spotted wearing a full suit, and has some in funky colours. She’s also been photographed in dresses which aren’t typically feminine, showing that you can wear skirts and dresses without looking overly ‘girly’. If we had to take some inspiration from Emma’s style, it’s probably that you can wear whatever you want. If that’s a masculine suit then so what. 24 March 2020
