Fashion Values

GENDER INCLUSIVITY — It blows my mind that in 2023 the industry continues to limit people being able to reach their full expression of self, having yet to provide wide range of gender inclusive product to the masses. Fashion is a way for people to express themselves and it is for everyone. T­­he gender binary is dangerous to the industry because it is all-consuming.

Rather than making clothes for consumers, these companies are assigning consumers to clothes. — read more of what I have to say HERE

SIZE INCLUSIVITY — When you limit individuals of what they can and cannot wear based on the shape of their body, you prevent them from being able to express themselves. Ultimately shaming people for simply being outside of “standards” that are decades outdated, contributes to negative body image which evidently results in diminished confidence. The need for size inclusivity has been in the spotlight for awhile now, but I believe there is so much more to be done before accomplishing widespread size inclusivity and improving consumers perception of self. — read my research on Positive Body image HERE

Producing fashion that is affordable for the average consumer and doesn’t kill our environment is worth reducing profits given that it’s not really going to matter how much money is in a CEO’s pocket if no one’s around. — read more about sustainable fashion HERE
