Sensitivity checks can be part of the creative process, rather than an impediment, a way to strike the precise balance between conversation-starting and controversy-causing. They involve building a step later in the process to gauge whether or not a campaign could be perceived as potentially offensive to a variety of religious, ethnic or racial backgrounds, as well as LGBTQ people, or how it would land in the current political and social landscape. May we apply Gen AI to the sensitivity check? It would be super helpful!

Thoughts Thursday: The Importance of Representation in Media and Fashion 🌟📸 In recent years, I've noticed a positive shift in representation, with more disabled creators sharing their experiences and initiatives like Runway of Dreams making strides in fashion inclusivity. However, while we're seeing some progress, there's still a long way to go. Representation matters. Seeing disabled individuals in media and fashion not only fosters a sense of inclusion but also challenges stereotypes and broadens perspectives. It's crucial that these industries continue to evolve, ensuring that everyone's story is told and celebrated. Let's advocate for a world where representation is not the exception but the norm. What steps do you think media and fashion can take to improve representation and inclusivity?

Call for Women in the Heights: DRESS To mark the fifteenth anniversary of the beloved Women in the Heights exhibition, we invite artists to submit works that explore the many aspects of the subject of “Dress.” Throughout history, we have used clothing to shield our bodies from the elements; it has also been an important form of expression/oppression for individuals and communities. Clothing certainly doesn’t determine our value as human beings, but it shares and/or hides information about ourselves, our circumstances, and our experiences. Clothing is a complex subject. Do we judge each other based on clothing? When do we choose to “dress up” or “dress down”? Why do we “dress to impress”? Do we wear an imposed or chosen uniform? Has COVID impacted the way we dress? Is there a gender bias in dress codes? What is the impact of “fashion standards” on our wellbeing? We invite artists to approach all aspects of the subject, from the societal to the personal, from the individual to the collective, and from the literal to the poetic.

In the fashion industry, the conversation about true inclusivity is often shut down or diluted to fit a narrow social construct. As a Black American woman with dark skin, a wide nose, and natural hair, I've experienced firsthand how the industry's focus on Eurocentric beauty standards marginalizes diverse voices and talents. We cannot allow these conversations to be silenced. True inclusivity means more than token gestures... it means celebrating the unique gifts and perspectives of all creatives. It's about creating a space where everyone, regardless of their background, can share their artistry without being forced to conform to a world that often devalues their authenticity. If you're comfortable with the rat race of trying to fit into a world that resists inclusivity, that's your choice. But let's be honest about it. For those of us who seek genuine change, it's time to push back against these outdated norms. Share your thoughts and let's work together to create a fashion world that truly values and celebrates diversity. #TrueInclusivity #FashionDiversity #CelebrateAuthenticity #BreakTheBias #BlackWomenInFashion #DiverseVoices #InclusiveFashion #AuthenticRepresentation #FashionForAll #CreativesOfColor #EmbraceIndividuality

Check-out these recent editorials from GAY TIMES exploring fashion trends this year - In "If the economy is tanking, why *not* dress like a dominatrix for the office?" Jamie Windust highlights how queer London designers are shaking up office attire. It's a great read looking at some standout collections from LFW, especially if you're thinking about shaking up your work wardrobe.. https://lnkd.in/ezEv7c_D Meanwhile, Mikelle Street dives into genderless fashion through the lens of two Brooklyn-based brands, Leak & Syro. Both brands "offer pieces that seem aimed at proclaiming the wearer’s queerness in ways many would have found objectionable a decade ago". Expecting much more genderless fashion throughout 2024, and very much here for it. https://lnkd.in/epJJR2sf Are you interested in partnering with GT to explore topics like this further? Let's connect if so 💫 #fashion #editorial #partnerships #lgbtqia

The British Fashion Council has launched its first UK fashion diversity, equity and inclusion report in partnership with not-for-profit diversity advocacy organisations The Outsiders Perspective and Fashion Minority Report. Launched this morning at an event at London’s Barbican Centre, the report found that only 9% of executive and board roles in the UK fashion industry are held by people of colour, and only 39% by women. Only 11% of “power roles” – which the report defines as CEO, CFO, chairman and creative director – are held by people of colour, and only 24% by women. It found that while 86% of white men in the industry believe the industry is diverse, only 46% of women of colour believe the industry is diverse.
