A Tribute to History: Styling our Marvel Bow Blouse and Jovita Scarf
At Gravitas, we are committed to celebrating the stories of women who have fought for equality and progress. Our best-sellers, The Marvel Bow Blouse and the Jovita Scarf, come in a bold Newspaper print that not only honors the suffragist movement but also highlights the pivotal role of women of color and the impact of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. In this post, we’ll explore how these iconic pieces pay tribute to history and offer stylish ways to incorporate them into your wardrobe. Plus, don’t miss our video tutorial on how to style these meaningful pieces at the end!
The Meaning Behind the Newspaper Print
The newspaper print featured on The Marvel bow blouse and the Jovita scarf is a homage to the suffragists, including women of color whose contributions were often overlooked in history. While the 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote in 1920, it wasn’t until the 1965 Voting Rights Act that many women of color, particularly Black women, were fully enfranchised. Our print reflects this important chapter in the fight for equality, commemorating the relentless efforts of those who fought not only for gender equality but also for racial justice.
The Marvel Bow Blouse: A Modern Nod to Feminine Strength
The Marvel is a wardrobe essential - a button-down blouse with bow detail that can be tied in different ways, blouson sleeves, and a gathered yoke. The blouse serves as a bold reminder of the women—of all races—who broke barriers to secure voting rights.
The Jovita Scarf: Wrapping Yourself in History
The Jovita scarf, adorned with the same newspaper print, is not just a fashionable accessory—it’s a wearable tribute to the women who paved the way for future generations.
