How does fashion provoke change in our world?
How can fashion be used to make a statement?
Fashion as Change has been inspired by the excess use of fashion and the powerful movement that fashion can evoke change. Today over 60% of fashion is made from nonrenewable resources like oil and other fossil fuels. When clothes are disposed of, they sit in landfills because the fibers are not biodegradable.
Right now, new clothes are being produced at such a rapid rate that some stores restock every day. Every year over 150 billion fashion pieces are produced globally. Through this project, we hope students not only gain a new perspective on important issues surrounding the fashion industry but also use fashion as a medium to express what they believe in.
With the help of this project :
Students can create pieces that speak either for or against the cause that they are exhibiting.
With the use of tech, students can tell a story in hopes to encourage and inspire emotion and change.
Find your inspiration. You can do that by asking yourself these questions on:
What is it that I am interested to explore?
Does fashion hold a larger meaning than just being about “clothes”?
What are the environmental effects of fashion?
