Never Hide Your Pride: Here's How You Can Celebrate
To mark Pride Month 2023, a number of big and independent brands have released Pride collections.
The month of June celebrates how far LGBTQ+ have come while also recognizing the work that still needs to be done. Over the past couple of years, big name brands have started to release clothing collections, often covered in rainbow colors.
To celebrate, a number of brands have collaborated with LGBTQ+ artists for their collections and campaigns. Here are a few brands that have partnered with these artist and show their love and support:
Target
Target has dropped apparel, accessories, jewelry, homeware, party supplies and even pet products featuring colorful designs.
To mark Pride Month 2023, the retailer has teamed up with LGBTQ+ artists to create capsule collections. They’ve also confirmed a continuing partnership with GLSEN, which creates affirming, accessible and anti-racist spaces for LGBTQ+ students.
Target’s 2023 Pride capsule collection is available to shop in-store and at target.com.
Adidas
Adidas has released its “Let Love Be Your Legacy” collection inspired and designed by Rich Mnisi.
The collection spans both lifestyle and performance pieces featuring silhouettes across Adidas Originals, football, cycling, sportswear and swim. This includes a take on the brand’s popular Stan Smith shoes. They have also teamed up with Tom Daley, who has written a love letter to sport, which he says is “a space for everyone”.

PetSmart
And my personal favorite, and not just because my bestie is represented with her love, and fur baby... but also because PetSmart is representing by doing a: You Are Loved collection.
