Gone are the days when a celebrities and models had to refrain from giving bold and likely controversial statements about social issues and institutions as their work depended on a social approval. Gen Y and Gen Z populous has nothing to do with that conservative school of thought.
Today we see activism and social awareness surfacing more rapidly as compared to the recent past. Popular figures play a vital role in creating this ripple effect, but as we all know such moves are criticized and are said to have a negative effect on the careers of these celebrities. However this notion is becoming obsolete in our evolving societies.
We have round up some of the active voices in the fashion industry, who aren’t afraid and don’t believe in being a silent pretty face. They’re human, they are hard working women, they have a voice and they have a platform. So they will be speak and they will be heard.
