Arlington (VA), USA – What better way to make a statement of political support during such turbulent times than through fashion?  Ports 1961 men’s creative director Milan Vukmirovic’s Spring-Summer 2018 collection gives street cred and support to the grassroots resistance organization Black Lives Matter.  He is clearly stating that the struggle for social justice for black people globally is relevant, and therefore supports that All Lives Matter.

All cultures matter. Only love matters.  This collection has the strong presence of the 70’s empowerment emblems. However it at the same time ties African and Native American heritage to the street cool of New York’s hip hop scene.  A strong parallel is drawn with a heavy nod to the now infamous and legendary track pants and hoodies. Here they are shown with a more urban, cool, relaxed,  metro feel.  While some pieces are muted others are strong in color, texture and pattern.

This collection is confirmation of a diverse universe that has multiple cross sections perfectly woven, blended and intertwined to a unified social fabric that has been translated into wearable fashion.
