IN THE WAKE of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on abortion rights, a number of clothing brands and fashion boutiques are using their platforms — and designs — to speak out against the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Brands that were once known for their stylish apparel and accessories are now releasing merch that not only reflects their aesthetic, but their political views as well.For Allison Holley, owner of Nashville boutique Apple & Oak, the last few months have fueled an intense desire to speak up against the anti-abortion rhetoric coming from Washington. She immediately went to work to create a line of “Pro Roe” products that she released as both a rallying cry, and way to give back.
“The night the Supreme Court leak came out in regards to Roe v. Wade, I couldn’t sleep and knew I had to do something,” Holley says. “I stayed up working on designs and products so we could raise money for what was to come. We live in a very conservative state with trigger laws. I wanted to do my (small) part in staying ahead of this decision.”
