Name: James Terrasi Faculty/Year: U1 Management Committee Position: Director of Choreography Do you believe fashion has the power to affect positive change? Where do you believe fashion succeeds or fails to create real, tangible social action? I do believe fashion has the power to affect positive change. What we choose to wear often goes beyond practicality; it’s a means of personal expression. As such, we are naturally influenced by the brands we choose and the causes they support. When companies we like develop their business models around social initiatives, they have the power to raise our awareness of important global issues. The “one for one” program is an example of this, where Toms Shoes donates a free pair of shoes to a child in need with every retail sale. As our awareness increases, we as consumers can choose to only support brands that we deem socially responsible, creating a virtuous cycle of positive action.
