We believe there’s a superhero in each of us. True Superheroes celebrates people who’ve overcome adversity, made amazing contributions to society, and inspired others to do the same. Each week we nominate people in different fields. This week we focus on fashion.

Ralph Lauren

Ralph Lauren embodies the American dream - a boy from the Bronx who took business classes at night school and built an empire around his love of sport. At his peak, the designer was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had to fight his way back to good health. Now he’s fighting to make a better life for others.

Vivienne Westwood

Fashion activist Vivienne Westwood wears her politics on her sleeve. She’s legendary as a punk pioneer, and her provocative designs changed the face of fashion but Britain’s style rebel still finds time to reflect on art, human rights, and her audacious plan to save the environment.

Christian Louboutin

In a high-speed world of 24/7 media and pandemic madness, Parisian shoe designer Christian Louboutin has an idea: slow down. The king of scarlet stilettos has launched the ‘Walk a Mile in My Shoes’ charity project to prevent racial injustice because empathy, hope, and freedom are even more joyful than a pair of killer heels.

There are many True Superheroes in the field of fashion. This is just the start of SPYSCAPE’s True Superheroes journey. We will be selecting more candidates and we encourage YOU to nominate YOUR favorites.
