Cocreating Justice

And I think what is great with sort of looking at this as a kind of continuation of the conversations that we had in the club so far is And the club being called Justice as Attitude really came from this collective feeling that justice is sort of ingrained or embodied in some way in what we all want to do, but feel also we struggle to do within the hierarchies and the kind of general understanding of what fashion is.

Yeah.

And, you know, so we're coming from the perspective of being a space of fashion education.

And one of the big things that we look at, that we work on, is if you look at a traditional fashion education and what originally it was designed to do, you know, it's make a collection, be inspired by, you know, interesting, beautiful visual things.

And that doesn't give us a lot of space to actually engage with larger socio-technical issues of our times.

Yet those are the burning issues that we need to look at in our world that we want to work on.

And actually, you know, these days I think most designers, most people want to see, they want to be working on some sort of positive change in the world.

So justice, the area of design justice, is the place where we can actually grapple with those things, that we can think about, well, what does design education mean today? And what are our tools to actually be sort of justice

practitioners? Agreed.

Yeah.

And I think there's something really important as well to say about our world today.

You know, it is it is grappling with intense issues and every day there is another horrible thing happening.

So it cannot be left outside our practice and it will influence not just mentally, but also the actionable things that fashion will have to react to in the future.

So I think it's great to have both of you here today to really kind of highlight from not just your experience within the industry, but as students and as now also active practitioners within the fashion field.

how and where you see justice is taking place or justice needs to be addressed.

And I think we always want to try and kind of hopefully highlight a bit of both.

But maybe this is the time where we finally hand over to both of you.

And maybe start with Tijou.

I think, Tijou, you could really share some of the work you're doing at the moment to kind of bring it to a tangible level of how you think it's possible to actionably embed justice.
