Everyday we get dressed.

“Choosing which clothes to wear can be emotionally powerful. It can be liberating, freeing, connecting and inspiring. Throughout my career, I’ve photographed many people who use clothing to express who they are with a richness of individual approaches.

While I attribute so much joy and opportunity to clothing, the fashion industry is responsible for millions of tonnes of textile waste, and the exploitation of garment workers.

The conversation at present is centered around fast fashion with the responsibility sitting with the large companies to produce less supported by industry and government reform. While I wholeheartedly agree with this I also think there is another opportunity for change.

Do you have a good relationship with clothes?

Our relationship with clothes is individual, nuanced, complex, and complicated. Even if you love getting dressed, and feel clothing has a positive impact on you as a person, the clothes we choose can change how we see ourselves and our bodies. They represent who we are and allow for responses from, and connections with others. Our ongoing aim is to create a conversation exploring clothing’s effect on individuals, communities, mental health, and the planet. We have build a community of like-minded individuals who love clothes, but are interested in being socially and environmentally aware.

We ask questions to cultivate thoughtful conversations as individuals, with our family and friends, and as a community. We read, research, and discuss modern literature and thought-provoking content around clothing and our relationship with self-expression, the need to belong, and the environmental impact our choices have. We create safe spaces to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to how we feel about clothing. To be unashamed, vulnerable, open, and understanding that this is a complicated subject. Everyone will have a different experience, but collectively maybe through respectful conversation, we can create change not only individually, but influence the overarching expectations on the industry and its’ environmental and social impact.

We love clothes, but not at the cost of other people or the planet.

We hope you’ll support the project.”
