Stefs latest article on how she believes fashion has changed skateboarding, and vice versa, has gotten the skate community talking. She argues that skateboarding in mainstream fashion is a good thing…
“As a person who loves to participate in sports, I would scathe at being called a ‘Tom Boy’ as a child, I would think, “I am a girl… Why do they have to label me some sort of boy just for wanting to have fun?” Why is masculinity attributed to anything interesting I want to do?
For this reason, the seemingly clueless inclusion of skateboarding in shows at London Fashion Week, and in magazines such as Vogue and Marie Claire, (which I imagine had most skateboarders rolling their eyes in disgust), has brought a sideways smile to my face.” – @stefaninurdingxx
