“Fashion shapes us as much as we shape it, which is why it’s crucial we ensure that all are represented,” says Munroe Bergdorf.
Growing up in ’90s Britain, it often eluded me as to why so much of fashion was so often dismissed by much of the general public and mainstream media as “ridiculous”, “unwearable” and “frivolous”. I remember watching a toe curlingly uncomfortable clip from a 1988 British talk show, featuringin a guest slot showcasing some of her more “avant-garde” pieces, which compared to today’s collections were massively tame.
Fashion is more than escapism or fantasy. Fashion can quite literally act as a portal to the future that we want to see and a window for others to bear witness to realities, perspectives and identities that are so often overlooked or actively ignored. To me, fashion is a reminder of what possibilities may lie ahead for us, especially those of us of marginalised experiences.
Never before have we seen such a richly diverse industry, both in front of and behind the camera, both backstage and on the runway. We’ve witnessed in real time just how fast change can come with people of marginalised experiences at the helm of publications, fashion houses and agencies that encourage the world to dream, that let the world know that fashion holds space for those dreams to become reality.
