Jonathan Simkhai gives us the girls revolution at New York Fashion Week

While fashion hasn't been as loud politically this season compared to last year when we were fresh off of the election of Donald Trump, that doesn't mean designers have forgotten the importance of women's empowerment. Quite the contrary, it is still manifesting itself in collections through different ways. For his fall/winter 2018 New York Fashion Week show, designer Jonathan Simkhai found inspiration from different turning points in American history, specifically the suffragettes and Gibson girls.
