Wearable Art: Fashion Community Responds To November 13 Paris Attacks

The deplorable terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday November 13 has left 352 wounded and has tragically claimed 129 lives, including an aspiring designer named Nohemi Gonzalez, studying abroad from California.

Fashion blogger, Mai Hua  New York Times thought that the explosions “were just another burst of gang violence,” while a woman picking up Chinese takeout recalls a terrifying account of people “hiding under tables,” and her car “riddled with bullets.”

It’s painful and difficult to fully imagine the entire weight of horror these innocent people experienced, and our hearts go out to all of the victims and lives lost. And this weekend, the heartfelt sympathy in the wake of this heinous can be seen all over social media, especially within the fashion community.
