RBG DISSENT COLLAR
You know, the standard robe is made for a man because it has a place for the shirt to show, and the tie. So Sandra Day O’Connor and I thought it would be appropriate if we included as part of our robe something typical of a woman. So I have many, many collars.
NOTORIOUS RBG
An amazing display of strength and a big voice in a petite package, Ruth Bader Ginsburg didn’t just speak with words, she wore it when she came to court. Of the many collars she has in her incredible collection, the Dissent Collar as it has been coined, is now a symbol for dissatisfaction and silent protest.
This iconic piece was originally created by Banana Republic and has been reissued several times since 2012 when Ruth Bader Ginsburg first began wearing it. It has sold out almost immediately each time it has been released.
Ginsburg pulls out her notorious “dissenting collar” whenever she’d like to communicate her condemnation. (The day after Trump’s election, she wore it to sit on the bench, even though the court didn’t issue any decisions that day.) When Couric asked the Justice why she had selecting this particular jabot to express disagreement, she explained that “it looks fitting for dissent.” It’s become so popular among RBG fans that it’s even spawned fan-made merchandise.
Each of her collars has a different meaning, but her most beloved are the most elusive. The white lace and blue beaded jabots (as the collars are correctly named) are from Cape Town, SA. They have sparked a number of makers to create replicas for the ones you just can’t buy.
