Tanya Taylor Uses Spot on NYFW Calendar to Drive Voter Registration
+7 Tanya Taylor Uses Spot on NYFW Calendar to Drive Voter Registration
When we though we couldn’t love Tanya Taylor more, she does this:
The designer utilized her spot on the New York Fashion Week calendar to debut ‘Things That Take Longer Than Registering to Vote,’ a video series aimed to inspire potential voters to engage in the democratic process by showing them how little time it takes to register to vote. She partnered with Fashion Our Future 2020, a multi-brand campaign that aims to drive youth vote through the power of fashion.
“There are a lot of eyes on us during NYFW and I feel it is my responsibility to use the platform I have within the industry to speak up and encourage positive change at such an important time in our lives,” said Taylor. “Our community of strong, empowered women are the heart of our brand, and as always, we aim to empower them and lift up their voices, this time through civic action and voting.”
Amen to that, sister!
The video series features friends of the brand including Hillary Rodham Clinton, Mindy Kaling, Stephanie Beatriz, Zosia Mamet, Rosario Dawson and more. The film shows clips of them performing different mundane, everyday activities that would take a person longer to do than to register to vote, which literally takes two minutes (REGISTER TO VOTE HERE.) The talent chose their own activities and self-shot the content in their homes.
Watch below Mindy Kaling watering her plants, Hillary Rodham Clinton playing with her dog, Stephanie Beatriz putting in contacts, Iskra Lawrence changing a diaper, Aurora James making coffee, Rosario Dawson getting her makeup removed, Stacy London taking a walk, Michelle Buteau folding laundry, Michelle Kwan making tea, Sydnee Washington cooking an egg, Zosia Mamet making a sandwich and Sasheer Zamata hula hooping.
