Popular hashtag and social movement first coined by designer fashion label JXβ„’ to repurpose and reject societal definitions and media portrayals of what’s β€˜ugly’: visually, socially, economically, and as it relates to love. The hashtag is used on images that call attention to people and practices historically considered β€˜ugly’ in American culture, and declare them beautiful and present in our population.
1) A picture of a gay couple dressed stylishly in a traditionally heterosexual embrace is labeled #imugly for the purpose of mocking cultural bigotry of this type of act of public existence and love. 2) A picture of an attractive fashion product constructed out of imperfect/repurposed materials is labeled #imugly for the purpose of mocking wasteful practices of fashion labels that consider imperfections to be garbage.
