The Balenciaga Pride 2021 capsule collection is a new lineup of garments from the high-fashion brand that are arriving just in time for Pride Month for consumers to pick up. The garment
range includes a series of pieces that are emblazoned with the rainbow flag or even the word "GAY" to act as a straightforward way for wearers to show their pride. The collection is hoped to help enhance the visibility and acceptance of those within the LGBTQ+ community, and will also see 15% of the sales going to The Trevor Project.
Creative Director Demna Gvasalia spoke on the new Balenciaga Pride 2021 capsule collection saying, "I'm gay. I grew up in a society where I couldn't have worn that, and there are places in the world that you cannot today. It's important to push through against homophobia. I'm not someone who goes out in the street and shouts. But this is the political fashion activism I can do."
