Fashion, Culture & Justice

John L. Tishman Auditorium, University Center
General Public 

Situated during the fashion industry's highlight week in New York, this event will serve to identify, address, and deepen our understanding of the social and systemic issues that challenge and pervade the fashion system. Topics that will be the focal point of this solutions-based discussion will include cultural appropriation and cultural sensitivity, and what fashion makes possible in a tense political climate. 

Kim Jenkins, part-time lecturer at Parsons School of Design, will moderate a panel discussion with change makers of color in fashion:

Elaine Welteroth, Editor-in-Chief of Teen Vogue

Aurora James, Creative Director of Brother Vellies

Amy Farid, Fashion industry hairstylist 

Anastasia Garcia, Photographer and body positive activist 

This event is free and open to the public, and made possible through the support of CHROMAT and the School of Fashion at Parsons.

 

This event is part of The Nth Degree Series: Creative Minds Creating Change.
