Fashion for a Passion

Mitch Grassi of A Capella band, Pentatonix, is inspiring to thousands of people for just being himself. He has helped many people to love and accept themselves. His pride and confidence to do what is outside the social norm is admired and opening minds of many. This collage filled with quotes between Grassi and OUT magazine provide a look into the fashion forward and progressive person he is. Included in this piece are lyrics to an original Pentatonix song named "See Through" which represents being your truest self and it has connected with the band members and fans around the world. This is a piece that speaks on LGBTQ+ acceptance and breaking out of gender norms when it comes to fashion. To make this collage more 3-D, two barbie and bratz doll accessories were placed to represent the juxtaposition from when those pieces of clothing were meant for girls to wear and play with, to now: the erasure of these problematic stereotypes. The rainbow glitter represents pride, along with the multiple stickers and peace signs.This shows that LGBTQ+ representation in media gives many people hope.
