This episode discusses how we can break the habit of mass consumption and throw-away culture. We highlight that there needs to be change in consumer psychology and the business models of mass consumption. We question whether as consumers we should be actively demanding more transparency from our favourite brands.

This episode questions how to measure and track fashions sustainable contributions. We also question whether sustainability is a trend born from hunger for profits and a form of conscience laundering or whether it is a movement, rallying for continuous and permanent change.

In the first episode of the sustainability series, we discuss our personal definitions of sustainability. Alongside, debating who are the culprits for the damage fashion is causing, and who should be leading the fight for and education towards sustainability.

Carry on the Protest

Fashion has over the years frolicked with its association with revolutionary causes and social injustices. Largely due to the key role it plays in the construction of one’s identity, which we explored in the ‘Protest in Fashion’ series. In a world where gender forms the most salient aspects of social identities and a person has the freedom to construct new ones, we explore Fashion’s role in its attempts to disseminate gender inequalities by adopting a more progressive ‘Agender lite’ consciousness. Whilst also analysing fashion's multifaceted motives for joining the gender neutral equality crusade. The fifth and final episode in the series analyses the growing trend towards agender fashion and discusses whether it could aid in the progressive movement of gender equality, or if it reinstalls patriarchy where women are forced to fit into a male aesthetic. Is there a growing demand for agender fashion and could this trend ultimately be the future of fashion.

The third episode in the series answers a series of questions, such as are we in a gender revolution? Do we need to get rid of gender roles and identities to achieve gender equality and have shifts in gender roles over the years in hindsight created instability and greater inequality?

Our third and final installment in our ‘protest in fashion’ series answers whether fashion will once again ride the waves of subculture to bring about trends more subversive and iconic than eras past. It's widely accepted that the 'bubble up' effect from youth subculture has over the years validated the industry's presence as an expressed/applied art form. Yet in a postmodernist world where subcultures are forced into obscurity, we discuss whether fashion's incessant appropriation of subcultures could in fact be the catalyst to its untimely demise and how the industry will struggle to remain relevant to the next generation without it

In our second instalment of the series, we delve further into the world of protest behaviour and subcultures, discussing their impressionable nature on individual identities and style. As we take a look back at subculture's revolutionary beginnings - born out of resistance to oppression - we discuss its imminent demise throughout the ages, helped by an industry whose hunger for cult objects fuelled fashion trends and helped to line the pockets of major brands. As subcultures have over the years existed in a state of ambiguity and fluidity in the online world, we analyse how subversive we truly are and whether we really have a need to express our collective existence through our personal style.

The first in our series on protest in fashion, deals with the topic of identity and the future of subcultures in an ever more subversive world.
