The Conscious Wardrobe's FIRST episode includes a thought-provoking discussion about fashion and its obsession with glamourisation about a sensitive topic, which is suicide.

Episode in a nutshell:

This less than 20-minute episode discusses problems during and beyond runway showcases and the lack of ethics within the fashion houses. It challenges norms as industry experts weigh in on the importance of responsibly crafting designs, the weight of the noose symbol as publicly glamourised by brands like Burberry and Givenchy, positive storytelling, and raising awareness in all the right ways. Further, they have laid out actionable steps and considerations for fashion designers and creative directors to pay heed to avoid promoting trigger-inflicting creations.

Thanks for tuning in!
