Expansive Visioning for Fashion Podcast Ep. 19 This episode was our favorite joint episode we’ve recorded together so far. We’ve been feeling the need to really explore visions for a new fashion future and in this episode we shared some of our ideas, some of the visionaries whose work has inspired us, and we try to push the boundaries of imagination for what is possible in the future of fashion. Guiding questions: 10x thinking: Think of what you want and expand it by 10, 100. What would this ideal future look like 10 times? 100 times? (question borrowed from Hayley Carr) If we were already there, what would we be doing differently? If we were already there, in our ideal fashion future, what would we be doing differently? (Hayley Carr) What does fashion/ design look like when it goes beyond creating more things? When it is based upon cultivating relationships, community, care towards ourselves, one another and the Earth? We chat about things like: Encompassing a balance of the feminine and masculine energies The role of technology in our futures A balance between the spiritual and physical worlds. STEEP futuring tool: Societal, Technological, Environmental, Economic, Political factors happening in your future vision. Returning Earth to the commons Gifting economies Degendering fashion, New money systems and questioning and rethinking the social agreements we have made Dismantling the hierarchy of fashion with percentage based salaries? Partnerships vs. “representation and inclusion” Design for the Pluriverse: Escobar - design towards more collaborative and place-based approaches. Design that attends to questions of environment, experience, and politics while focusing on the production of human experience based on radical interdependence of all beings. ‘I dream of a world guided by a lens of stories rooted in the revelations of science and framed with an Indingeus worldview - stories in which matter and spirit are both given voice’. -Robin Wall Kimmerer Braiding Sweetgrass Resources and Mentions: -Hayley Carr - Dissolve Problems by Thinking Bigger (a guide) podcast episode: https://blubrry.com/superfreak/65164640/dissolve-problems-by-thinking-bigger-a-guide/ -Degendering fashion- Alok Vaid-Mennon on the Conversations with Jason Campbell and Henrietta Gallina https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/conversation-alok-vaid-menon-is-degendering-fashion/id1328893989?i=1000459631480 -Sacred Economics by Charles Eistenstien https://charleseisenstein.org/books/sacred-economics/ -Robin Wall Kimmerer - Braiding Sweetgrass
