Italian designer Angela Missoni brought the political fight to Milan fashion week by ending her autumn-winter 2017 show with models clad in Pussyhats, the pink protest symbols of women's rights.
Supermodels including Gigi Hadid and Romee Strijd strutted down the runway in the Italian fashion capital on Saturday wearing Missoni's variation on the pointy-eared hats which featured her signature bold stripes around the brims.
The knitted pink hats with cat ears first appeared on January 21st at the Women's March in Washington, where protesters wore them as a sign of feminine solidarity the day after US President Donald Trump was sworn into office.
