Really enjoyed this interdisciplinary analysis, Lydia! Finally got round to reading this. Did not disappoint. I like how you touched on the underestimation of fashion in the context of wider societal progress. You might enjoy this lil dispatch on that very subject by Beth Bentley, if you haven't already: https://patternrecognitionbytomorrowism.substack.com/p/trivial-pursuits. As someone whose engagement with fashion is very much peripheral, I'm just starting to wake up to its interdisciplinary potential.
Hi Philip, so glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for reading! Also very much appreciate the recommendation - I’ve just finished reading it and it’s definitely sparked some deeper thoughts into how our algorithm apathy is reflected in fashion and society as a whole. Fashion really is a gateway for so many compelling avenues of discussion so it’s an honour to have contributed to that discovery process for you in any way I can.
The appreciation is mutual :) Glad you enjoyed Beth's piece. As someone who actually works in circular fashion, I'd love to get your unfiltered thoughts on this piece I put out on clothing swaps earlier this year: https://mutantfutures.substack.com/p/002
Just commented with my thoughts (apologies it's a long comment - unfiltered indeed)! Really enjoyed the article and has me seriously reconsidering the potential of clothing swaps so thanks again for the recommendation.
