How Fashion Brands and Retailers Are Encouraging Voting

As we inch closer to November, brands and designers are encouraging their customers to let their voices be heard at the ballot box. With such crucial issues on the line, it’s as important as ever that you’re registered to vote. (Even if you think you are, it’s never a bad idea to triple-check your registration status by going to Vote.org. There, you can learn more about your local elections, set reminders for when and where to cast your vote and even request an absentee ballot.)

Members of the fashion and beauty industries have become more engaged in politics and social causes in the last few years, and this fall, many are lending their time, design skills and retail spaces to spread awareness and support voter organizations and campaigns. From “Eras” tour-inspired tote bags to Fifth Avenue window displays and plenty of I am a voter. collaborations, there’s something impactful for every constituent to find below.
