Faculty/Year: Management U1 Committee Position: Clothing Coordinator 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 believe that because everyone participates in fashion in some capacity it has the power to make positive change. For example, many clothing lines have recently released sustainable pieces, from fast fashion brands such as H&M to runway designers like Tom Ford. This movement is something that is accessible to most people regardless of their socio-economic status or even their interest in fashion and for this reason I believe that fashion can work to raise awareness and make change for a variety of issues. How have social initiates made an impact on your life, or someone close to you? It may be through the HIV/AIDS community or another social/personal issue. The way in which I have seen an impact in my life through social initiatives is the sense of community that occurs when like-minded people come together to solve problems and help others. Furthermore, having the opportunity to partake in social initiatives has opened my eyes to some of the issues people face in their lives and has made me a more informed, appreciative and generous person.
