About this Event

Fashion vs. Fascism: Because Democracy Should Always Be In Style

A runway revolution. One night only.

Democracy is under siege, and culture is one of our most potent defenses.

Join us for a visually immersive evening of high fashion, music, and political theater at the inaugural Fashion vs. Fascism show, premiering in Oakland.

Using fashion’s visual impact and appeal, FvF exposes fascism’s rise in the U.S. — from the manufactured emergencies, to the violent crackdowns in our cities, to the wholesale looting of the state by oligarchs and grifters. FvF's runway illuminates pathways of resistance.

FvF is a call to action.

Fascism thrives on spectacle.

So will the resistance.

This is democracy at its finest, dressed to fight.
