Trust Your Voice - Ruth E. Carter, Fashion and Protest

COVID-19 and now the Black Lives Matter protests have shaken up
the globe, and that includes Rodeo Drive. Bronwyn Cosgrave talks
to Ruth E. Carter, the first African American to win the
Academy Award for Best Costume Design, for Marvel’s “BLACK
PANTHER”, and a preeminent voice in Afro aesthetics.
In Trust Your Voice: Ruth E. Carter, Fashion and Protest,
Cosgrave and Carter discuss her path to success – costuming more
than 40 acclaimed feature films – and its impact on future
generations, as well as protest and how the fashion and luxury
industries can make the goals of Black Lives Matter a
reality. “I think there was momentum building as far as
luxury brands becoming so connected to urban fashion,” says
Carter. “I feel like the pump was primed for fashion to be
positioned in a place to take action now.”
