HOW TO PUBLICLY SUPPORT GAY ACTIVISM DURING THE SOCHI OLYMPICS: Principle 6 of the Olympic Charter Just when it seemed that dissenting voices would be preemptively muted, though, along comes Principle 6, a campaign backed by the nonprofits Athlete Ally and All Out—and supported with a capsule collection of gear, such as this limited-edition Alexander Wang hat—to draw attention to a portion of the official Olympic Charter that prohibits discrimination at the games. Wang says that his P6 gear is for “athletes, fans—anyone and everyone who believes in equality and nondiscrimination, both of which are entirely compatible with the spirit of the Olympic Games.” Former Olympians Andy Roddick and Steve Nash are already fans, and Wang’s one-off promises to be a wardrobe staple among athletes in the Olympic Village. More than just a way to keep warm, it is proof positive that if you stick to your principles, clothes can send a powerful message. principle6.org/ Alexander Wang P6 hat, $125; nordstrom Source: Vogue USA
