To say that “fashion is political” is a cliché at this point, but it’s true. You don’t have to look too far to find zeitgeist-changing examples from the runway; Maria Grazia Chiuri’s We Should All Be Feminist t-shirts for Christian Dior spring to mind, as does Kerby Jean-Raymond’s groundbreaking 2016 Pyer Moss collection commenting on police brutality and Black Lives Matter.
This isn’t the first time designers have rallied behind democratic presidential candidates—several made tees for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and pieces for Barack Obama’scampaign initiatives. Biden’s Believe in Better collection however, represents the most varied offering yet. Some like Jason Wu, Prabal Gurung, and Jonathan Cohen, went for classic interpretations of the traditional campaign tee.
Embroidered with the word “Unity,” Monique Péan’s tan face mask speaks to the moment in no uncertain terms. “Each stitch represents the many facets that make up the diversity of America,” Péan said. “I am confident that Biden and Harris can unify our country and be the exemplary activists and advocates that we need to uplift and defend our civil rights and provide health, safety, and equal opportunity for all Americans.
He’s not the only one to have taken inspiration from past campaigns. Aurora James of Brother Vellies made a sweatshirt that reads “We Make The Difference. Black Women For Biden/Harris 2020.” The design nods to election merch from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, including Shirley Chisholm and Jesse Jackson’s campaigns. “This is the fight of our lives and we need to do everything we can to energize people to vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and I’m incredibly proud to have made this,” James said.
The collection was entirely made in America in unionized factories by the Biden campaign and is now available to buy. With everything $60 or under, the collection gives fashion fans an opportunity to shop their favorite designers at an affordable price while supporting a candidate they can believe in.
