    Fashion and Community

    January 27, 2021 /

Fashion helps us to stand out and make an impact. In our ever-changing world, it is vital that the fashion industry keeps up with the latest changes.  The impact of global warming, for example, has changed the way we value what we buy and how the items have been sourced. For example, the rise in fast fashion has made everyone conscious. Whether that’s us changing where we shop or buying less of what we don’t need.  Not…

Of course, we tend to follow trends, but at the end of the day, it is our personal style which determines what we have in our closets. However, let’s not forget that fashion is something that more or less we all have in common. Fashion connects and differentiates us. Sometimes it is not as simple as just whether we like what we buy and wear. Our style reflects the society we live in, and it even makes us feel like part of a particular community. Just think about the…

    January 21, 2021 /

    A subculture within fashion is a group of people categorised together based on their appearance and clothing, which is normally at variance to mainstream culture at the time. Because you’re among supporters of a common cause, being a member of a subculture provides a sense of community and belonging. Weather that be a political movement or a protest against conforming to popular culture, subcultures have been a key driver in creating communities in fashion. The Punk subculture The majority of subcultures throughout history have been about creating a sense of identity and community for a group of people, without a political catalyst.

    Staying Sustainable in the fashion community

    January 16, 2021 /

    Community as an ideology allows us to feel a part of something and fashion allows us to instead be individual. Whether it’s where we live, supporting a sports team or just having one thing in common. It’s the concept of coming together and having a sense of belonging.
