Why sustainable fashion must be intersectional | Fashion Revolution LIVE TALK

Intersectionality is an analytical framework for understanding how aspects of a person’s social and political identities combine to create different modes of discrimination and privilege.

The fantastic line-up of speakers will guide you through this topic. They explain how capitalism is playing a huge part in holding back sustainable fashion practices and how capitalism, white supremacy and imperialism have alienated people of colour around the world from their own cultural practices concerning fashion and stripped them of benefiting from their own cultural capital on a global scale.

” The implications of the climate crisis are still underestimated and serious concrete solutions are left to individuals, while this is a systemic issue. This crisis is already victimizing people all over the world and is still the greatest threat to not just our existence, but for flora, fauna and the ecosystems we are inherently a part of. The individual is not and cannot be held responsible for all of this, the responsibility is with the multinationals and the global systems that allow and encourages them to do so.” Michantely de Jong
