But of course, like many things in the Trump era, they’ve since taken on a new significance. Which is why, on the heels of the safety pins worn post-Brexit and Lola Kirke’s “F— Paul Ryan” button atop her pink floral gown at the Golden Globes, this season, the Council of Fashion Designers of America has teamed up with Planned Parenthood for Fashion Stands with Planned Parenthood, an initiative rolling out on Monday just in time for New York Fashion Week. Thanks to designers and CFDA members like Tracy Reese, the hot pink buttons have so far garnered the support of 40-plus brands, including Proenza Schouler, Carolina Herrera, Diane von Furstenberg, Public School, Narciso Rodriguez, Tory Burch, Prabal Gurung, and Zac Posen. As Miley Cyrus and the artist Marilyn Minter can readily attest, it’s a show of support that’ll no doubt bring its share of internet trolls. But it’s also a rare trend dozens of designers can get behind — and one a bit more fashion week-ready than homemade, pink knitted pussy hats.
