- “Social media has led consumers to adopt and move on from fashion trends quicker than before, and to appease their customers, brands must keep up with the forecasts.

Trend forecasting using social media analysis allows fashion brands to unlock their potential for commercial and creative success.”

As 2020 underwent a radical transformation, Maya Singer looked at how the fashion industry reckoned with momentous and much-needed change.

"Fashion functions as a mirror to our times, so it is inherently political. What's radical today is the way social consciousness is informing fashion; Designers worldwide whether indie start-ups or internationally famed Maisons are incorporating politics at every level of their brands from the fantasies spun on the runway down to the nuts and bolts of how collections are produced. These designers aren't just making clothes - alongside activists and organisers they're making change - that's a selling point" - Andrew Bolton via Vogue

Points
- Brands' involvement in politics to help increase their selling point.

- Despite this involvement - their teams remain lack POC and true transparency of inclusivity.

- How can they truly represent and be alys without hiring black people within their teams?

There are, however, other less obvious yet ultimately even more destructive forms of racism". - Paula A. Braveman

Affirmative action involves fairly considering qualified candidates who previously would have been rejected on the basis of their racial or ethnic group—for example, by considering the obstacles faced by candidates when assessing their strengths and potential to succeed. In response to challenges to affirmative action initiatives, which sometimes have been accused of discriminating against White or Asian people, many institutions have reframed their efforts under the banner of diversity, equity, and inclusion."]]> 2022-11-19 17:53:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sniles2/z0qncf1lli7dlhy9/wish/2391042267 Racism in the fashion industry sniles2 https://padlet.com/sniles2/z0qncf1lli7dlhy9/wish/2391047047 "Fashion has established itself in ways that enable white supremacy, from the parameters of beauty and style being based on white European standards, to the tokenism of ethnic ambiguity, to the dismissal of Black culture’s contributions to aesthetics" - Naomi Barling (16th March, 2021)

"Sharing the reasoning and sources behind creative work, where there is no intent to steal, but rather show a true representation of an inspiration, enables us to explore the topic of cultural exchange in a more truthful way."

" I look forward with hope to a true transformation of the whole value chain, and a future that integrates and values people of all backgrounds, their ideas, and their stories without cultural or economic exploitation."

He adds that there is a clear need to make it easier for socially conscious buyers to shop from Black-owned businesses."

"The launch follows a series of collaborations between Ebay and Black Girl Fest (BGF), a festival and platform designed for Black women, girls and non-binary people. In April, the companies launched an academy to nurture entrepreneurs with one-to-one training for 12 to 14 weeks, as well as mentoring to help upskill their e-commerce. Once graduated, brands can then sell via the Black in Bloom hub. “Once they’ve got those skills the hub is really a way for us, Ebay, to drive traffic towards those businesses,” says Gale."

"The report found that one in 10 Ebay consumers say they don’t buy from Black-owned businesses because they don’t know where to find them. Seventy-six per cent of Black adults are more likely to consider starting a side hustle, compared to less than 28 per cent from other communities, the report shows.

“We commissioned this research because we want to shine a light on the depth of inequity Black entrepreneurs, and most notably Black women, face as they look to grow their businesses,” says Murray Lambell, Ebay UK’s general manager. “We believe we have a role to play in helping to overcome some of these challenges by helping founders to start and scale their business.”"

The body of work and word count is very overwhelming so i'm trying not to feel to anxious about it and just take it one chapter at a time ]]> 2023-01-25 00:31:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sniles2/z0qncf1lli7dlhy9/wish/2455494999 30th sniles2 https://padlet.com/sniles2/z0qncf1lli7dlhy9/wish/2455497698 This has been my most productive moth so far, feeling a lot less anxious about everything

my chapter plan is sorted

My introduction needs some work but I was sent a helpful chapter planning work document that has helped me to break it all down

Now my aim is to continue and strengthen my research sources and start writing my chapters for the summative deadlines ]]> 2023-01-25 00:34:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sniles2/z0qncf1lli7dlhy9/wish/2455497698 2nd sniles2 https://padlet.com/sniles2/z0qncf1lli7dlhy9/wish/2455894379 My main course work has taken a big chunk of my time, more time than expected

I'm finally starting to see some progress within my first chapter, its coming together and the sources I found have proven to be quite helpful in making my points clear especially regarding the origins of black activism in the 1900s

My tutor recommended during our session that I include less detail in chapter one of the origins/ beginning of slavery as I went into too much focus which will confuse the reader

It has helped that within each chapter i turn it into three paragraphs and break thos e paragraphs into clear points so that i'm sticking to my lead question while saying exactly what i need to and not going off topic.

That feedback was super useful! ]]> 2023-01-25 09:38:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sniles2/z0qncf1lli7dlhy9/wish/2455894379 15th sniles2 https://padlet.com/sniles2/z0qncf1lli7dlhy9/wish/2455897875 Approaching the summative I feel more confident in what I'm writing and the points being made, breaking my chapters down into paragraphs then clear points has given me a clear vision of what I need to do and what research is missing

It was recommended to me that I research Stuart Hall - I have but if i'm being honest I find his work and work surrounding him very confusing and a little difficult to read. As much as i need to make this Dissertation academic based, his style of writing and research has made it very difficult for me to understand and im not sure i can use any of it ]]> 2023-01-25 09:41:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sniles2/z0qncf1lli7dlhy9/wish/2455897875 1st sniles2 https://padlet.com/sniles2/z0qncf1lli7dlhy9/wish/2455900699 New month and the last push before the year comes to an end.

the deadline for my FMP research is on the 16th which is honestly my main focus at the moment as its really imperitive that I complete that to the best of my ability.

So this dissertation won't be my lead focus for the next two weeks and I will have to take a break as I personally struggle to put 100% into both things at the same time. ]]> 2023-01-25 09:44:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sniles2/z0qncf1lli7dlhy9/wish/2455900699 18th sniles2 https://padlet.com/sniles2/z0qncf1lli7dlhy9/wish/2455903798 Its been two days after my FMP deadline and i managed to complete it all thankfully!

Before Christmas madness I want to at least get chapter 1 out of the way so i csn focus on the other three that are vital for completing this properly.

My aim is also to stay on top of my bibliography so it's not left until the last minute and i don't feel panicked towards the end

Once i can get Chapter 1 finished and structured, it won't distract me too much from christmas break and i can resume in the new year ]]> 2023-01-25 09:47:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sniles2/z0qncf1lli7dlhy9/wish/2455903798 2nd sniles2 https://padlet.com/sniles2/z0qncf1lli7dlhy9/wish/2455906558 The start of the new year and tahnkfully I don't have too many shifts booked at work so i can focus each day to completing this.

I set myself a goal of 300/500 words a day so that way i'm not overwhelmed and am making enough progress towards my word count.

This dissertations research has made it alot easier for me to read things and digest information, I'm finding the process a lot less overwhelming ]]> 2023-01-25 09:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sniles2/z0qncf1lli7dlhy9/wish/2455906558 15th sniles2 https://padlet.com/sniles2/z0qncf1lli7dlhy9/wish/2455908415 Approaching the deadline and on this document i've added so many sources, boooks and articles that i've collected over the past couple weeks

I have also been reading the handbook which is extremely helpful along with the example dissertations so that I have an idea of the different styles of structure and how to reference efficiently. ]]> 2023-01-25 09:51:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sniles2/z0qncf1lli7dlhy9/wish/2455908415
