A selection of projects and writings that reference how fashion(ing) might shift us away from a focus on making per se, to envisioning how we might broaden future actions and views. That is, why contemporary fashion needs to be framed as a critical practice that allows for greater consideration of shifting states in the atmosphere/environment, as well as facilitating awareness beyond the historic pre-occupation with cloth (materiality) as fashion’s underpinning.
Since presenting the genesis of these ideas in settings like the Fashion Institute of Technology, Parsons School of Design, Pratt Institute, and the California College of the Arts as well as via design/textile journalism and global art venues, the current climate crisis necessitates that I venture further to explore why fashion is as much about fashion(ing) self in relation to the environment as it is about generating form.
