re:wear @ The Fashion Pulpit
Singapore-based social enterprise The Fashion Pulpit launches a new vodcast series seeking to cultivate sustainable fashion literacy towards building a healthier and more equitable fashion ecosystem. In the first episode, Founder and CEO Raye Padit discusses the concept of care for clothing and beyond, the motivations behind the brand and its aim to promote environmental education and awareness in fashion and more.
The Fashion Pulpit. New episodes every other Thursday. Watch the first episode here.
Fashion and Race Database
Created by fashion educator, Kimberly M. Jenkins, Fashion and Race Database is a digital library that spotlights and amplifies racialised and marginalised voices in fashion through publishing research and under-examined narratives. In ‘Objects That Matter’, for example, the cultural and historical significance of clothing such as the terno, the national dress of Philippines, and the Áo Dài, the traditional dress of Vietnam, are highlighted. The growing database aims to diversify conversations intersecting fashion, race and history.
