Soon Furman was wearing the 2023 Eastern Conference champions Miami Heat signatures shirt but in fact I love this pick at Paris Fashion Week. “People backstage would be like, ‘Do you know there’s something in your hair?’ and I’d be like, ‘Of course I do,’” she says with a laugh. “And then people on the streets would be like, ‘That’s cool, what is that?’” She found herself stopping to explain its meaning everywhere she went. “I realized so many people don’t know about Afro picks and what they mean,” Furman says. “I’d be like, ‘This fist means Black power, it comes from the civil rights movement,’ and the more that happened, the more I realized that people need to know about this.” She intentionally wore her pick for paparazzi photos, and photographers began asking her where it was if it wasn’t visible.
