    Sustainable fashion: The community you want to be a part of

    January 18, 2021 /

    2020 has been a chaotic year; politics has become so polarised, the world has gone into lockdown, and our climate is descending into madness. But in reality, this could be our future if we don’t act now. 2020 was the year to save our planet and to hold the big industries accountable. 2020 was the year to redeem ourselves, but the pandemic has diverted our gaze to the immediate threats we’re facing. It’s time to make our consumption sustainable. Climate crisis Environmental activists have been flooding the media with statements trying to draw the world’s attention to our planet’s cry for help. We are rapidly depleting our resources and most…

    The Horror Story of the Fashion World

    December 11, 2020 /

    Simply put, we are killing the planet. And one of the big contributors to this is the fashion industry. It is the third biggest pollutant on the planet and it continues to rip through our natural resources on a daily basis. We have the solution right under our noses, yet we still do nothing. We, as consumers, need to become more aware of the impact this industry is having. Our money is single-handedly funding our planet’s demise and the majority of us have no idea how. The life cycle of fashion The life cycle of your typical fashion garment is probably a bit of a mystery to most – other…

    It’s All About Inclusion

    November 27, 2020 /

    Over 1 billion people of the world’s population are diagnosed with some form of disability. Almost 20% of working age adults in the UK are disabled, according to the British Disability Quality Charity Scope. Yet despite this, disabled people have long been ignored and excluded from the fashion industry. The fashion industry might be quick when it comes to trends, but it is slow to represent people of different abilities. Disabilities come in various forms which can demand several specific clothing needs, such as adjustable waists, one hand zips, magnetic closures, and extended openings. For example, buttons can be difficult for those with dexterity issues and regular cut trousers can…

    Fashion and Disability: It’s Time for More Inclusion

    November 23, 2020 /

    Disability can be a sensitive subject. It can come in physical and mental forms and does not discriminate. In the fashion industry, disability is kind of a taboo subject. First thing’s first, it’s not openly addressed as much as it should be. Throughout this article, we’ll explore why in more detail. There’s also often negativity surrounding disabilities, which is understandable. However, disabilities need to be seen as empowering. For someone to live their life with a disability is amazing and shows their inner strength. The Paralympic Games is a prime example of how to put a stop to the negative stigma of disability. Each event shows how disabled people have…

    Who Said the Disabled Cannot Have Fashion?

    November 21, 2020 /

    Clothing tends to embody one’s identity and give individuals self-esteem. However, the disabled with physical inconvenience haven’t been able to get adequate choices in clothing. Creating adaptive clothing for them is not only based on the consideration of the huge market potential, but also the performance of the fashion industry caring for human and fulfilling its responsibilities to society. Physically disabled men have the same basic social functioning as others, they need to dress decently, and deserve their own fashion style, but the market for this group of people hasn’t received enough attention. Fashion belongs to everyone, even those with disabilities An American professional fashion model called Jillian Mercado, who…

    It’s time to represent everyone in fashion

    November 16, 2020 /

    Since the start of advertising for industries like fashion, there have been specific standards and stereotypes used to present products to the consumer. In the fashion world, these standards and stereotypes are imagined through tall, thin, and predominantly white models. These models are beautiful people in the eyes of society but only represent the minority. It’s time for this industry to open its eyes and represent every person, every body type, every gender and every culture. The dawn of diverse representation In a world where there are so many different types of people, the fashion industry was slow to represent them. It was only in the 2010s when we began…

    Creative minds and the pressure to succeed

    October 22, 2020 /

    Creative minds live in fast forward. Flares of inspiration and passion are the driving force for some of the world’s more inspirational people. Above all, their working routine is revealing a damaging effect on their mental wellbeing. A personal headache. To explore this, fashion’s global stage and its workforce is becoming the light of accepting how working patterns are added pressures for success.   Pen to paper, needle to runway Pen to paper, needle to runway – only part of the mechanism that keeps creators ticking. From intense meetings to jet-setting for fashion week, designers are in the fast lane. These are words that live in the forefront of the minds of…

    Mental hygiene is crucial Mental health is something that most of us never learn to focus on and take care of. Our lives are more stressful than ever due to often demanding working environment and difficult relationships. Finally, the stress we are facing every day has made us notice the need for mental hygiene.  For each of us, mental hygiene means a different thing. For someone, it might be meditation or yoga while for others it’s re-watching the favourite series or going out with friends. No matter what way we decide to use while dealing with stress, we must not forget to try our best to find the mental balance.…

    Use and Abuse: Fashion’s Mental Health Problem

    October 19, 2020 /

    Use and abuse culture Use and abuse culture facing graduates and young professionals as they enter the fashion industry is often the source of poor mental health. Having experienced several unpaid internships myself within the industry, I have seen first-hand how long, relentless hours can take their toll on personal wellbeing. Graduates and students bursting with fresh creative talent and youthful enthusiasm are over-used and thrown out on a continuous cycle.  The high stress environment with constant pressure to stay ahead of trends and work at top-speed is impossible to maintain. Sadly, unpaid work in fashion has become normal. We see internships as the holy grail merely get your foot in…
