Emily Ratajkowski recently made a political fashion statement by wearing a black T-shirt featuring the face of Stormy Daniels, on the same day that Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts. The limited-edition T-shirt, priced at $95, is called the Platform style and was designed by cartoonist R. Crumb. Ten percent of the proceeds from the shirt go to Safe Horizon, an organization in New York that supports victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Ratajkowski has been open about her experiences with sexual assault and has faced intense scrutiny over her body, similar to Stormy Daniels. This isn’t the first time she has used fashion to express her political beliefs; in 2020, she was seen wearing a Rage Against the Machine T-shirt featuring Bernie Sanders. Other celebrities have also used fashion to make political statements, such as Cate Blanchett who wore a dress that resembled the Palestinian flag at the Cannes Film Festival, Bella Hadid who wore a dress resembling the Palestinian keffiyeh, and Guy Pearce who sported a Palestinian flag pin and bracelet in a photoshoot for Vanity Fair France.
In recent years, many celebrities have become more vocal about their political beliefs and have used their platform to raise awareness about important issues. Ratajkowski’s latest fashion statement is just one example of how celebrity can be used to make a difference in society.
