Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic affecting many, mental health has become extremely important to reflect on and treat. After hearing about NAMI’s “You are Not Alone” campaign, Jonathan Marc Stein believes his inclusive approach to fashion is a perfect ideal to pair it with. He strives for everyone wearing his designs to feel confident in their own skin to be and feel like their true selves. He plans to partner with NAMI and help raise awareness for support that is available to people with mental health issues during these difficult times whether it be feeling alone and isolated, struggling with anxiety or depression, or other more extreme examples of mental health challenges. As he has had a few of his very close friends end their own lives, he strives to aid others who are going through the same issues as this matter is very dear to his heart.

“It is important, especially during these difficult times, that we come together to check in on one another. Upwards of 40% of adults in the United States reported that they are struggling with mental health issues in the last year of the pandemic. No one should feel like they are alone and through the help of organizations like NAMI and the results from my show, we are able to raise awareness and donations to help those in need.”
The Autumn/Winter 2021 Collection pays homage to celebrating women in hopes of furthering inclusivity in the fashion industry. Stein has always been known for including models of all ethnicities and sizes within his productions. Through his use of flowy fabrics and thoughtfully engineered styles he hopes to make any woman feel comfortable in her own skin and body. Vibrant colors of carmine, cobalt, and emerald are elevated through his expertise of leather construction and hardware integration in his most recent collection.
