The fashion industry is known for the power it holds and the impact it makes in our society, culture and to the environment.
The mainstream fashion publications work as propagators –playing a significant role in not just shaping the fashion industry, but also perpetuating certain core issues within it.
How can fashion publications, as a creative industry, be more reflective of the socio-political and environmental zeitgeist without being superficial? And how can the masses play an active role in affecting this shift within the industry?

Fashion Issue is a free participatory digital platform that functions primarily as an information hub: a constantly updated repository of key concepts and words in the socio-political-environmental landscape from the lens of fashion and/or creative industries. It is designed as a tool that simplifies learning, diving deeper and taking action.
