PRIDE!
&OTHER STORIES
&Other Stories invited international creatives to express their unique perspectives on style and identity. Beginning in Paris in late June and ending in Stockholm in early August, shoppers will have the opportunity to view the work of the LGBTQIA+ community and will be encouraged to share messages of love and support for the community. In addition, &Other Stories donates to the UN Campaign Free & Equal, the UN human rights organization’s global information campaign for LGBTQIA+ equality. Showcasing diverse creative talent is an important way to make underrepresented voices heard. The &Other Stories Pride celebration is also about connecting through deeply personal stories. Together with Djamila Imani, Yasha Lelonek, ShayShay Konno, Stella Zekri and Hanna Kisch, a platform is being created to support the diverse voices of the LGBTQIA+ community.
“At &Other Stories, we believe that sharing stories from different perspectives helps us grow and learn. We’re proud to celebrate Pride alongside five amazing artists from the LGBTQIA+ community who bring their unique expressions to their work share with us,” says Roma Bracey, Area Manager & Inclusion & Diversity Project Lead at &Other Stories.
“We are constantly striving to evolve as a company and expand our work on inclusion and diversity. In line with our I&D plan, we engage with the community throughout the year, listening, learning and collaborating so everyone at &Other Stories feels safe and welcome.”
Throughout the summer, creatives from the LGBTQIA+ community will be invited to celebrate PRIDE in five stores around the world – Paris, New York, London, Berlin and Stockholm. &Other Stories will be celebrating together with Stella Zekri between July 25th, 2022 and August 1st, 2022 in the Mitte Store in Berlin. Stella is a French DJane and singer known for her gender-defying and far-reaching sets. As co-founder of the expansive and expressive club Body Language, she is passionate about creating queer spaces in Berlin’s music and nightlife scene. This June she will release her debut EP Détends-toi on Cosmic Romance Records.
