Post de Longchamp

As a size-inclusive fashion expert, I recently embarked on a personal challenge♥️ For the first month of this year, I committed to the fashion fast pledge by Future-Proof Fashion and wanted to stick to it. A week in, however, I found myself failing - not due to lack of commitment, but because of a systemic issue that plagues our industry👠 🔻For plus-sized women like me, the struggle to find fashionable pieces is real, particularly in the pre-loved market. As haute couture fashion week approached, I thought of borrowing❓ 🔺But, many designers don't offer sample pieces in extended sizes and most online rental platforms fall short on size-inclusive options. 🔺Yes, there are some offerings on pre-loved fashion websites, but they often fail to cater to our diverse body shapes, color preferences, and unique styles. We are not a one-size-fits-all demographic‼️ So here's my call to action: Let's reshape this narrative. It's high time we champion diversity and inclusivity in fashion. Let's create an industry where style is accessible to everyone, regardless of size. ‼️Because the truth is, I didn't fail in my challenge - the industry failed me and countless other plus-sized customers‼️ #plussizefashion #inclusivity #diversityinfashion #calltoaction #fashionexpert #sizeinclusive #plussize #fashionmarketing #consumerexperience #preloved #pfw #pfw24 #paris

Embracing Diversity: Fashion for Everyone https://lnkd.in/djvjd7yq In a world where diversity is more important than ever, the fashion industry is taking a vital step forward by embracing inclusivity. Fashion has the power to celebrate every body shape and size, and more and more brands are offering styles that flatter a wide range of body types. From curvy to petite, fashion is celebrating individuality and offering a perfect fit for everyone. Fashion is a beautiful tapestry woven from threads of diverse cultures and traditions. Brands are now drawing inspiration from around the world, offering collections that honour different heritages. From African prints to Indian textiles and Japanese motifs, fashion is speaking a universal language of cultural appreciation. This is helping to promote a more inclusive industry that celebrates diversity in all its forms. Inclusivity in fashion isn't just about what you wear, it's about who you are. It's important to amplify the voices of marginalized communities within the industry, and this is where disabled models and indigenous artisans are making a significant contribution. By giving these voices a platform, fashion is becoming a more inclusive space that celebrates the diversity of the world we live in. Fashion is also breaking free from outdated gender norms, offering styles that blur the lines and celebrate individuality. This means that men and women can wear whatever they want and express themselves authentically, regardless of gender identity. By tossing out the rulebook, fashion is creating a more accepting and inclusive industry that values individuality and diversity. Finally, promoting racial diversity and representation within the industry is crucial. Brands are making progress, but there is still work to be done to ensure that everyone is given equal opportunities to shine. By championing brands that prioritize diversity and representation, we're changing the face of fashion and creating a more beautiful and accepting world. In conclusion, by embracing diversity and inclusivity, fashion is becoming a reflection of the beautifully diverse world we live in. It has the power to bring people together and make us feel seen, heard, and celebrated. Let's continue to embrace diversity in fashion and transform it into a more beautiful and inclusive industry that values individuality and celebrates diversity in all its forms.

🌍 Diversity in Fashion Leadership: A Critical Look at the Industry 📊  A collaboration report between the British Fashion Council Minority Report and The Outsiders Perspective, supported by knowledge partner McKinsey & Company, and covered by The Business of Fashion, highlights a concerning stagnation in leadership diversity within the UK fashion industry. Despite efforts following the events of 2020, there's still a substantial gap in inclusive representation at the executive level. 🔍 Key Insights: Inclusivity Gap: People of colour make up only 9% of executive teams and boards in UK fashion firms, with women holding about 24% of top roles. Perception vs Reality: There's a stark disparity in how diversity is perceived within the industry, particularly between different demographic groups. DEI in Action: The report stresses the need for actionable and measurable DEI targets, moving beyond public-facing initiatives to structural changes. 🤔 My Reflection: Although this report covers the UK only, I think it's critical to realize that its a world-wide problem. As someone deeply invested in both the fashion industry and the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), this report underscores a vital truth: progress in DEI is not just a moral imperative but a business necessity. The connection between inclusion and profitability can't be overlooked. Fashion brands need to take a hard look at their leadership structures and commit to long-term, sustainable change. This is not just about meeting targets but about creating an industry that truly reflects and celebrates the diversity of its consumer base and society at large. The future of fashion hinges on its ability to embrace and foster diversity at every level. #DiversityInFashion #Leadership #Inclusivity #FashionIndustry #DEI
