[1] In 2015, director and actress Lena Dunham promoted Antonoff's collaboration with & Other Stories in a short film called Vote Audrey.
[2] Dunham famously wore Antonoff's Uterus Sweater to a Planned Parenthood event where she then auctioned it off to raise an additional $4,000 for the cause.
[4] Born in Teaneck, New Jersey,[5] Antonoff was raised in nearby New Milford,[6] where she and her brother Jack Antonoff, singer and songwriter of Bleachers and lead guitarist of the indie rock band Fun, would commute to the Upper West Side to attend the Professional Children's School where Rachel studied theater.
The idea originally came from friend Lena Dunham as a way to save money, but has continued as a creative project that better captures the brand.
Antonoff is known to create stories and characters for these videos and includes unique models of all sizes, her mother, grandmother, and friends.
The performance also includes live vocals from singer Ali Stroker and Jack Antonoff played the role of male secretary.
[13] Antonoff and members of the band Fun formed The Ally Coalition, or TAC,[14] to encourage those in the fashion and entertainment industries to use their influence to end discrimination against LGBTQ people.
Antonoff also offered her support to a number of other organizations including GLAAD, Human Rights Campaign, The Trevor Project, and Freedom To Marry.
[16] For Antonoff's brother's band Steel Train, she and Ruess both provided backing vocals for the song "Dakota" from the 2007 album Trampoline.
