Christian Allaire on the inspiration behind his new book, The Power of Style: How Fashion and Beauty Are Being Used to Reclaim Cultures.
When Christian Allaire was growing up on the Nipissing First Nation in Ontario, he didnt see himself or his Indigenous culture represented in the fashion magazines and television shows that inspired him. Now, Allaire is Vogues fashion and style writer, and hes on a mission to change the conversation about BIPOC representation through his work. He spoke with Tom Power about his new book, The Power of Style: How Fashion and Beauty Are Being Used to Reclaim Cultures.
This week on Unreserved, we look at how clothing is a way of making a statement and telling people what you believe. Fashion can empower, it can challenge, and it can be deeply political.
