Black Lives Matter
Issue #2: July PUBLISHED: Friday, July 31, 2020
Moda Operandi acknowledges the silence that has taken place within the fashion industry with regards to racism at this pivotal time, and the long history of cultural appropriation within the industry, which has far too few Black designers and leaders. We also acknowledge that we as an organization have not been doing enough to combat systemic racism. In the wake of the tragic deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many others, we pledge to do better. Henceforth, we are committed to using our platform in support of Black and minority groups in the fashion industry. This page highlights educational resources and shares content that drives the change we wish to see in our society. In the coming weeks, we will detail how we as an organization are doing our part to combat systemic racism and discrimination in all forms.
