#TIEDTOGETHER

While executives from other prominent industries around the world raised their voices in response to current world developments, the fashion industry has remained silent. In light of the current uncertainties and turmoil around the world, The Business of Fashion invites the fashion industry to stand together and make a clear statement of solidarity, unity and inclusiveness. This is not a political statement, it is a positive statement in support of humanity during a time of turmoil and fear in many nations around the world. We aim to start a global movement within the fashion industry to demonstrate the power of unity and inclusivity, and encourage fashion enthusiasts and people outside the industry to join.

Directed by David LaChapelle, Ukrainian Ballet Dancer Sergei Polunin nails Hozier’s ‘Take Me To Church’. While the jarring stops and dynamic aggression is reminiscent of Shia LeBeouf's performance in Sia's Elastic Heart video, there is a softer more poetic nature to Polunin's body language.

Before Stanley Kubric knew he was going to make some of the best sci-fi and horror movies ever (like A Clockwork Orange and The Shining), his first claim to fame came as a 17-year-old photographer for LOOK magazine. He took these pictures in the New York subway system over two weeks in 1946.
