As part of their VOTE!
2018 initiative, the University
of
Michigan
Museum
of
Art partnered with SHEI
Magazine, Bronze Elegance
Fashion Show, NOiR Runway
Fashion and enspiRED to
put
on
a
voting-themed
fashion show Monday night.
Also present were students
from the Stamps School of
Art and Design’s Voting is
Sexy
class
and
members
from the Ginsberg Center
for
Community
Service
and
Learning
who
were
helping about 75 students
in attendance come up with
a voting plan for Tuesday’s
election.
The
show
was
the
culmination of a series of
events
about
voting
and
civic engagement that has
been going on all fall at the
museum.
Lisa
Borgsdorf,
manager of Public Programs
at UMMA, said she thought
the fashion show was a great
way to make voting fun.
“We were really thinking
about motivation to go to
the polls, and making it fun
… (and) a way to do that that
gets a lot of people here, and
hopefully that translates to
getting a lot of people to the
polls,” Borgsdorf said. “It’s
such a serious time, it’s such a
big midterm election. It’s very
important, but we also felt
like there was room to have
fun with it for the purpose of
motivating people.”
LSA junior Sarah Jacob,
a member of the UMMA
Student Engagement Council,
said she felt the fashion show
was a great way to motivate
people who were interested in
the arts to vote.
“I think it’s a really cool way
to the keep the conversation
going
about
voting,”
Jacob said. “I think this
is one of the years that
I’ve heard people talk
the most about midterm
elections which has been
crazy because that’s not
usually the case, so I
think adding a fashion
show really brings in the
arts, and forces people
who don’t think they are
political to just think
about the fact that they
should be voting.”
The show was split
into two parts — the first
focused on what to wear
to the polls. The models
walked the makeshift
runway wearing jackets,
scarves and jeans, all
in fall hues. LSA senior
Kamaaria Sanders, an
executive board member
of
Bronze
Elegance
Fashion Show, said she
thought
fashion
and
politics
were
deeply
related,
even
though
people might not think
about it.
“Fashion plays a huge
role
in
politics,”
Sanders
said. “If you think about
how people dress when they
are politicians, they are very
particular about what they
pick, as we were particular
about what we picked in the
show, like the tones, even
though it’s something you
don’t really pay attention to.”
Engineering senior Lauren
Huang, an executive board
member of NOiR Runway
Fashion, agreed with Sanders
and said she felt fashion had a
large influence over elections.
“Depending on what (a
politician is) wearing, it will
give you the vibe or tone of
what they’re standing for,
or what they’re trying to get
at,” Huang said. “Sometimes,
if someone’s not dressed the
right way, you might not vote
for them or not believe what
they’re trying to say. But if
they are dressed the right way
and look very presentable,
that
will
affect
people’s
opinions
and
their
vote
towards that person.”
The second section of the
show was America themed,
with models strutting down
the runway in “I voted” and
“voting is my superpower”
T-shirts or more subtle red,
white and blue looks, while
Childish
Gambino’s
“This
is America” played in the
background.
After the models did their
final walk, LSA senior Liv
Velarde,
editor-in-chief
of
SHEI Magazine, closed out the
show by asking everyone in
attendance to vote Tuesday. A
bulk of University programming
has focused on turning out
students—only 14 percent of
whom participated in the 2016
presidential election.
