Tiffany & Co. for Marriage Equality

It is a time when marriage equality is a hot topic amongst anyone who knows someone who is, are or are offended by the prospect. Amongst a myriad of fashion labels that have showed their support for marriage equality, Tiffany & Co.'s declaration of their backing of same sex couples and their marriage rights have been made audible in their latest campaign. A fine jewellery brand known for its engagement rings, and of course THAT movie, it is ever more meaningful that a brand that draws on the beauty of love has shown that same sex couples should be respected and embraced. Hopefully this will spark a trend amongst other jewellery labels to take a stance on the issue of marriage equality.

Gucci feels it's Chime for Change

Chime for Change advocates - Frida Giannini - Creative Director of Gucci, Beyonce Knowles-Carter - Singer/Songwriter and Salma Hayek Pinault - Actress

The beautiful Creative Director of Gucci, Frida Giannini, has stood up and taken action against the objectification and abuse that many women around the world still face today, with the start of a charity foundation named "Chime for Change". It's ridiculous that women are still treated as the lesser gender in a time when progressive thinking, acceptance of difference and future ideals are favoured over the dying mindsets of racism, sexism, homophobia and ageism. Frida's aim is to give an opportunity for girls and women everywhere to look up to not only women, but men, who are standing up for their rights, no matter what ethnicity, sexuality or age. 

The Chime for Change motto and promise to women everywhere

Please watch the campaign video below to see the many historical moments and figures that have contributed to women's rights and how Chime for Change is bringing those ideals into the present and future. Stand up for your aunty, daughter, mother, grandmother and whoever you know is affected by sexist discrimination and join the movement today!
