You Can Actually Buy This Iconic Piece Of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Wardrobe
For years, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has used one accessory to channel her disapproval: a Banana Republic bib necklace, affectionately known as her "dissent collar."
The Supreme Court Justice has imbued multiple jabots with meaning, from her crocheted "majority opinion" collar to her favorite lace look. But it's the dissent collar that's garnered the biggest following-perhaps because RBG fans love to see their feminist Justice take a stand, even if she can't do so out loud.
The now-famous necklace reportedly came into Ginsburg's possession through Glamour's "Woman of the Year" event in 2012, when it was placed in swag bags. And why did she choose it to show her disagreement? Ginsburg explained to Katie Couric that she chose it as her dissent collar because, quite simply, "it looks fitting for dissents."
The Justice is known to wear the necklace when the Supreme Court announces a decision she's against, but she's also donned it on other occasions-such as the day after Donald Trump's election in 2016.
Merchandise inspired by the collar is all over Etsy, but now fans will finally be able to purchase the original. Banana Republic is reissuing the necklace, and donating 50 percent of the proceeds to the ACLU Women’s Rights Project, an initiative co-founded by the Notorious RBG herself.
Wear it as the stylish bib necklace it is, or strategically don the accessory when someone displeases you-the choice is yours.
The necklace is available for preorder now, and will officially launch on January 15.
