Aditi Mayer: The ties between identity, politics, and fashion have never been clearer.
FABRIC FOR THE MIND - voice #3
Aditi Mayer:
¨In the last few months, the industry has had a reckoning. Brands are being forced to contend with their problematic cultures and practices, whether that’s racist corporate cultures or not paying their garment workers amid a global pandemic (after already receiving orders).
The FABRIC FOR THE MIND project is a refreshing reminder on how brands can be extending their role in the fashion landscape— not only as pushers of product, but as champions of larger conversations— about culture, identity, and reimagining fashion’s future.
The series encapsulates a beautiful display of perspectives— from thought leaders such as Aja Barber to zero-waste fashion designers like Nathalia JMag— and I’m excited to share my own thoughts on the state of the industry as we approach a critical cultural juncture where accountability is on the rise, alongside an awareness of how exploitation exists in fashion.¨
