这件衣服将由杰米·曼in the维多利亚州的不列颠哥伦比亚省议会大楼, at theVancouver Art Galleryand onJericho Beach。在这些拍摄过程中，这件衣服将由三个著名的2Slgbtqai+社区成员穿着Kendall Gender(runner up Canada’s Drag Race season 2),Jaylene Thyme(two-spirited indigenous advocate) andNorma Lize(trans activist and member of Rainbow Refugee).
The Amsterdam Rainbow Dress also includes the flags of eight countries in which homosexual acts can result in the death penalty.
自2016年创立以来，它一直在世界各地引起人们的关注，以争取平等，包容性和宽容。
Arnout van Krimpen, creator of the dress says: “In addition to our call for eliminating existing anti-LGBTIQ+ legislations, we want to make our own community and our allies constantly aware that freedom needs to be maintained. Freedom needs love, freedom needs care, because it is the most precious thing we have.”
The Netherlands is a strong advocate for 2SLGBTQAI+ rights and in 2001 became the first country to legalize same-sex marriage. The Dutch organization for LGBTQ+ rights (COC) founded in 1946, is the oldest worldwide. 2SLGBTQAI+ has been at the heart of the Dutch government’s human rights policy for decades.
The Dress has been modelled by a variety of models from the global 2SLGBTQAI+ community in various countries, including Australia, Denmark, Mozambique, South Africa, the United States and Sweden. In 2021, the dress visited Canada’s east coast.
