As an artist who is
involved with fashion brands and fashion magazines, how do you see the fashion
industry and the fashion world today? And if you want something there, what
would it be?
There’s
a lack of transparency by brands and governments and a lack of accountability
on our part as consumers to make sure they’re doing
what’s right. Sustainability isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about
trying, even if it’s one thing at a time. Personally, I
want to see a genuine attempt at making a difference, and an eco-conscious
capsule collection during Earth Month is not it.
Which of the
projects you have created so far has been a turning point in your career?
Auctioning off pieces to raise money for BLM
was an important moment for me. I was fortunate to raise a lot of money for
organizations in need, and it also started a lot of conversations on the
importance of community. It also lead to me becoming Arc’teryx’s first design ambassador,
which felt like happenstance.
