In my previous blogs, I talked a lot about the future of fashion. It is something I am deeply interested in and committed to impacting.
As we’ve discussed many times how the past two+ decades have driven us to a consumer culture where we have been programmed to buy large amounts of clothing at low cost, wear them briefly and discard them. Until relatively recently, nobody really understood the true impact of that. I still encounter people who proudly tell me that their beautiful dress was only X amount from X fast fashion company, whether it’s H&M, Zara or Shein, whoever. What I’m reminded of is this is not the true cost. This collective guilt that many of us have is at the root of our focus and extensive commitment to reversing this damage wherever we can.
Yet do we really know what we want in the future of fashion? Are we clear about the balance and structure of brands in the future?
At this point, I want to introduce the concept of “spiritual fashion”. We could also call it “mindful fashion” or fashion that is “aware” or “present”.
The subject of spiritual fashion I will explore further, but it’s something I’ve been considering and studying for some time.
A few points to consider – do we want fashion that:
Sparks joy
Creates healing, well-being, a feeling of happiness and fulfilment
Is honest, respects and loves everyone involved
Clothes that are filled with love, intention and beauty
Isn’t this a future of fashion that is engaging, one that we would love to be a part of?
Thank you for reading and let’s talk again soon.
With love,
