I've recently started work on my first non-computer-related post -
a treatise on my framework for approaching fashion, derived from
perspectives on techwear and sustainable clothing. While I knew there's
some inherent contradiction, I didn't anticipate just how much cognitive
dissonance I'd be ironing out in the process. Techwear ("true" techwear-
I'll get into that later) is a luxury fashion space, and writing on it
in a manner divorced from consumerism is, in some ways, difficult. Some
sections I've written feel a bit too much like marketing copy. There is,
however, a brilliant underlying philosophy to its design, and I'm making
progress toward expressing it in this way I've been looking for.
I'm excited to present this as something cohesive.
