Special issue on "Ethical Fashion and Empowerment"
This year, we used the no-fly and no-assembly time to expand the Digital Resources for educators, researcher, curators, and other professionals that we built last year. Experts from different countries and fields of research collaborated together and contributed with their time and expertise to put this resource together. The main focus of the working groups was on ethics, sustainability, and decolonization of fashion studies, fashion education, and fashion curation. A huge thank you to all the Digital Group leaders and everyone who contributed their time and resources!
