Over 800 PVH associates and guests, wearing PVH Pride Logo t-shirts, brought the runway to Fifth Avenue, marching alongside the company's first-ever custom designed float, "Runway to Pride." Both corporate and retail associates expressed their individual style by customizing their t-shirts and showing off their designs on the runway.

"I continue to be inspired by our associates who showcase their individuality every day," said Emanuel Chirico, Chairman & CEO, PVH Corp. "I was incredibly proud to see over 800 members of the PVH family come together to celebrate the NYC Pride March."

Rainbow colored Pride underwear, specially designed for LGBTQ Pride Month, was distributed to the crowd by models wearing CALVIN KLEIN and Tommy Hilfiger underwear and makeup by Leo Alonzo and PVH associate Jillian Zino. DJ Lina Bradford spun live from the top section of the float.

PVH's Instagram, Facebook and YouTube channels featured livestreams and live updates, capturing all of the best moments throughout the day. A custom "PVH Runway to Pride" Snapchat filter was available for the entire parade route. Visit PVH Corp. on YouTube to view the highlights video.
