The change of coverage of another television presenter became news

We think the dress can change the world. So, we’re reclaiming it as a symbol of freedom and power. 

Fashion has long been used to indicate one’s role and standing in society––it often separates people of different economic or ethnic backgrounds. Historically, it was just another thing that set the ....apart. Men, who enjoyed more freedom in general, wore a style that allowed them equal freedom of movement: pants, breeches or hose, depending on the century. Women, on the other hand, wore dresses, the style of which changed wildly over the years but generally constrained their movement more, limiting women to less ‘exciting’ pastimes. This is true particularly of feminine styles in the Middle Ages and later.
