What does the ‘decolonisation of fashion’ even mean?! What does this look like in practice? These social topics are often overlooked within the fashion sustainability space, and for one, an area I didn’t truly understand myself… that’s why it was an absolute blessing to be joined by Dusty this week, founder of Canadian based streetwear brand ‘mobilize,’ who opened my eyes to a whole different walk of life. With mobilize bringing the ever-needed representation of ingenious people within fashion, Dusty also aims to empower, educate and help others find their identity. I learnt a tonne about the “indigenous way of living,” and was so inspired by not only the richness in culture, but the incredibly mindful approaches into how resources are used, and the overall harmonic way of living. This was no doubt one of the most insightful, engaging and inspiring conversations I’ve had, and I know you guys will really vibe with Dusty too. // Follow Dusty IG: @m.o.b.i.l.i.z.e and our IG at @_animaanimus // You can also join the rest of the AA Fam in continuing the conversation at www.animaanimus.co.uk.
