„THE DRE$$ TEASER“ | TIAA x Fe Noel – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Brooklyn-based designer Felicia Noel teamed up with retirement agency services provider TIAA, and its initiative #RetireInequality, to highlight the glaring wage gaps between men and women. This messaging and empowerment culminated in the debut of Noel’s $1.6 Million “Dre$$” at her fall 2022 show during New York Fashion Week.

On average, women earn 83 cents on the dollar to every man. This number, compounded, means that by the end of her career, a full-time, working woman will have lost an average of $417,400 of income. To determine the symbolic number to make the dress, Noel referenced The Center for American Progress’s calculations.
