Provide a person a fish and they’ll eat today; teach them to fish and they’ll eat for a lifetime
Dear Viewers, this is the third, and last, component of my trilogy of posts on Rewilding Fashion composed for Counter Arts I hope it will resonate with you. Anticipating your comments.
An important part of the technique of rewilding fashion is to accept local knowledge, and empower marginalized communities. Central is the separation from the unscrupulous, hegemonic systems that tend to dominate the garment industry. By cultivating an atmosphere where local customs, craft practices, and products prosper organically, style can move past the homogenization enforced by globalized, top-down systems.
This shift is an important action towards decolonizing style, as it offers a technique that allows for indigenous neighborhoods and craftsmens to reclaim their autonomy, boosting their cultural techniques in manner ins which reverberate with sustainability, equity, and the possibility for transformation.
Style shouldn’t be a product to be taken in, but a living technique rooted in society and atmosphere!
