For the first time in its 20-year history, World Pride is coming to New York City. This June, the city will come alive with a month-long lineup of queer-centric concerts, parties, and events. The event will double as a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of NYC’s historic Stonewall uprising, a landmark moment in the ongoing struggle for LGBTQI rights.
Though New Yorkers are famous for our penchant for wearing all-black ensembles, Pride is the perfect excuse to bring out a little festivity and color to our wardrobes (or at least show some skin!). That’s why we’re looking to the good folks at H&M, who’ve put together a special Pride Capsule Collection of summer-friendly pieces celebrating LGBTQI pride while also leaving room for you to express your own individuality.
As an official World Pride sponsor, H&M is donating ten percent of sales proceeds—a minimum commitment of $300,000—to the United Nations’ Free & Equal Campaign. The company has a long history of spotlighting LGBTQI artists and creatives such as actress Laverne Cox and actor and comedian Rickey Thompson. Their aim for this year’s collection: to let you dress like your unapologetic, fun, and fearless self.
