Collective fighting racial discrimination
The House of Slay is a collective fighting racial discrimination against Asians and promoting inclusivity.[1][2] It was founded during the COVID-19 pandemic by the Slaysians, a group of five Asian fashion industry insiders in New York, including Prabal Gurung, Laura Kim, Phillip Lim, Tina Leung, and Ezra J. William.[3][4][5] In 2021, the group launched the digital superhero comic House of Slay to promote inclusivity for underrepresented groups.[6][7][8] It has also worked with the Asian American Pacific Islander community by partnering with the AAPI Victory Fund to mobilize and support voters.[1]
In 2022, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) recognized the House of Slay with its Positive Social Influence Award.[9][2][8]
