WATCH: The Sleeping Bag Coat That’s Empowering Women and Helping the Homeless

A few years ago, Veronika Scott, now 23, set up a coat manufacturing business in a graffiti-covered building in an old Irish manufacturing neighborhood of Detroit. She had a few sewing machines and a drive to help the homeless.

She wanted to make a coat that transforms into a sleeping bag, originally intended just for Detroit’s homeless. But when she presented it at Aspen Fashion Week a year ago, some in the audience asked where they could get their own coats.

Since late 2010, Scott and her employees — 10 formerly homeless who moved into housing only after they started working for Scott’s nonprofit company, called The Empowerment Plan, have made more than 1,000 of the coats, which have been distributed for free to the homeless nationwide — mostly by nonprofits in Detroit and Ohio but also in San Francisco, New York, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., Aspen and Philadelphia. This year, she plans to make four times that amount.

As culture commentator Mark Simpson notes:

The ad is funny and memorable largely because it confronts head-on what too much advertising for men’s beauty products, particularly ones for the American market, try desperately to disavow, even as they’re exploiting them: male vanity and sensuality. The ad goes so far as to joshingly play with one of the scariest things for marketers about male narcissism: the way it can shade into male homoeroticism. An eye for male sexiness, even your own, might just turn into male sex.
