Dr. Martens 1461 For Pride
“I’ve always loved the fact that Dr. Martens celebrates individuality and diversity in all forms. This year, the brand put a twist on its classic 1461 model for Pride, which comes with an alternate set of rainbow laces. With the release of the 1461 For Pride shoe, Dr. Martens is also donating $100,000 to The Trevor Project, an organization that provides crisis and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer questioning youth. I’d like to celebrate that year-round.” – Anastasia Barbuzzi, Digital Editor

Film Recommendation: Paris Is Burning
“This film was on my syllabus for a fashion course I was taking in University, and I figured it would just be an average piece of homework. This film fundamentally changed how I think about drag culture and the way that it can help people express their selves in such an incredible way. This month, I would encourage you to take the time to learn about the origins of things like RuPaul’s Drag Race – you won’t regret it!” – Aleah Balas, Podcast Producer
