Expansive Visioning for Fashion

Expansive Visioning for Fashion - Podcast Ep. 19

This episode was our favourite joint episode we’ve recorded together so far. We’ve been feeling the need to really explore visions for a new fashion future and in this episode we share some of our ideas, some of the visionaries whose work has inspired us, and we try to push the boundaries of imagination for what is possible in the future of fashion.

We chat about things like:

- Encompassing a balance of the feminine and masculine energies

- The role of technology in our futures

- A balance between the spiritual and physical worlds.

- Returning Earth to the commons

- Gifting economies

- De-gendering fashion

- New money systems and questioning and rethinking the social agreements we have made

- Dismantling the hierarchy of fashion with percentage based salaries.

- Partnerships vs. “representation and inclusion”

Guiding questions:

- 10x thinking: Think of what you want and expand it by 10, 100 (question borrowed from Hayley Carr).

- What would this ideal future look like 10 times? 100 times? (question borrowed from Hayley Carr).

- If we were already there, in our ideal fashion future, what would we be doing differently? (Hayley Carr)

- What does fashion/ design look like when it goes beyond creating more things? When it is based upon cultivating relationships, community, care towards ourselves, one another and the Earth?
