‘REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE’
In 2024, we will be #ShiftingPerspectives and urged to rethink our prejudice and to challenge societal norms of how we perceive and portray the role of women in society. The creative expression forges into fashion with five fashion designers redefining boundaries, breaking stereotypes and inspiring new action as they take inspiration from one artist’s spoken word and visualise the standpoint:
It starts with me.
