Exhibitions.
Clothes Minded”
ClothesMinded was a week long exhibit that aimed to shed light on the malpractices found within the fashion industry. When I first began working in fashion I was really swept in by the glamour of it all, but the closer I looked, I began to see the cracks. This exhibit focused on the mistreatment of employees, the psychological and physical damage that fashion has on humanity and the environment, and most importantly, the insurmountable waste found within the industry. The goal was to educate and teach all of the positive ways we can make an impact by making small changes individually.
