FAAVM Canada Intercultural Fashion Show Event

It was early on in the George W. Bush administration when then-First Lady Laura Bush made a trip to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. The occasion was an exhibit of the most notable ensembles worn by Nancy Reagan, a first lady who loved to dress up (and was, more often than not, criticized for her expensive taste in clothing).
As Hervé Pierre, who was the first lady's stylist while Melania Trump was in the East Wing, explained to Women's Wear Daily in January: "It's not just like [finding something for] a black tie or a cocktail party. You have all the glamour, but then you also have hospital visits and everything else. The panorama of the wardrobe for a first lady is so big because there are so many events that need to be fulfilled."
Fashion and clothing is a field where clothes are used to create and reveal a cultural and social identity. What we wear is more than just material sewn together to protect us, our clothes are a signifier of our identity and culture. The FAAVM is the leading Canadian international minority rights organization, working to secure rights for ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities, in accordance with domestic and International human rights law.
