Deep Re-thinking Fashion on Clubhouse

Description

Hello lovely human! 👋

Welcome to this safe space where we re-think fashion in the most deepest and critical way. Let your curiosity guide you and come on board!

We are Nahir and Tena, two friends advocating for social, environmental and cultural rights in fashion. We spent the last 8 or 9 months deeply thinking about ethical and sustainable fashion. Through our talks, we became particularly interested in the relationship between our clothes and minds.
We are currently focused and engaged in brining awareness about fashion & mental health. We recently published a sort of guide/paper which explores and analyzes the deep and thin thread that connects our minds to clothes - Available at no cost, feel free to send us a DM if you’d like to read it! Find us here as @nsarsur and @thinkingthreads

Our insights, discussions, and conclusions come largely from disciplines like psychology, philosophy, sociology, and anthropology. They also come from our personal experiences and continued conversations we are having with other activists, designers, and thinkers within the slow fashion community.

Here we intend to explore more some of the topics we’ve once discussed, bring new ones and moreover, we are eager to hear your thoughts and experiences with fashion. This is a safe space for you to say whatever you feel like to, no judgments and no expertise in the matter is needed to raise your hand!

*Side Note: I (Nahir) have a sort of panic to speak publicly and I’m challenging myself because I’m eager to connect with you! So please bear with me 🙈*

We leave you with one of our favorites thoughts on clothes:

"What if clothes were not simply reflective of personality, indicative of our banal preferences for grey over green, but more deeply imprinted with the ways human beings have lived, a material record of our experiences, and expression of our ambition?"
