    Truth Telling & Call-Out Culture

    This week's new episode is another chat between us on a topic that is effecting us all - truth telling and call-out culture.  In order to be able to bring in our desired futures and do expansive visioning we need to be able to hold space for multiple truths and creates safe spaces to share our truths.  In this episode we explore: + our own experiences surrounding the current paradigm of calling people out and online shaming  + why there is no ultimate truth and truth as being contextual + how dogma in various environmental and social justice movements keeps us from missing the point + how we need to focus on what we actually want for the world  and loads more... We hope you enjoy this conversation, and we'd love to hear your thoughts on this pertinent topic.  Ania & Amie xx

    Connection to Place with Amie & Ania

    Today's episode is an exploration the importance of connection to place for sustainable fashion futures. Ideas we explore in this episode: Asking where does connection to place fit within fashion? How do you connect with a place when you are displaced from your traditional roots? Reponsibility to place. Being in a reciprocal relationship with place  Rethinking fashion education- what if we began with place? Truth is never absolute but emerges from place and therefore multiple truths can exist.  and so much more...

    Date: 03/09/2020 Ep. 21 Responsible Fashion Photography with Eunice Pais This week our guest is Eunice Pais. Eunice is a self-taught ethical fashion photographer based in Portugal. Her journey in photography started three years ago with a question: “Can photography be responsible ?” Through partnering with ethical fashion brands she was able to develop and implement environmentally and socially positive methods of work in her fashion productions. This year, she decided to elevate the initial personal project even further. By creating an agency that promotes carbon neutral and regenerative systems of opportunity in photo productions, she can champion ethics in image making while pushing for a more equitable industry. Using photography as an agent of change. This week's episode with Eunice was a deep exploration of what it means to be a responsible photographer, artist and storyteller. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did! We explore: -What it means to be a responsible photographer and storyteller -Representation and inclusion in image making and fashion -Elder wisdom -Sustainability as not only a political and  social, but also an artistic stance -The need for reconciliation in the fashion industry ...and much more. “There is a difference between working with responsible fashion brands and being a responsible photographer. You can tag along with the former but you must be the latter.” -Eunice Pais Resources and mentions: You can find all of Eunice’s tutorials on Responsible Fashion Photography on her Instagram profile.

    Expansive Visioning for Fashion

    Expansive Visioning for Fashion - Podcast Ep. 19 This episode was our favourite joint episode we’ve recorded together so far. We’ve been feeling the need to really explore visions for a new fashion future and in this episode we share some of our ideas, some of the visionaries whose work has inspired us, and we try to push the boundaries of imagination for what is possible in the future of fashion.  We chat about things like:  - Encompassing a balance of the feminine and masculine energies  - The role of technology in our futures  - A balance between the spiritual and physical worlds.  - Returning Earth to the commons - Gifting economies - De-gendering fashion - New money systems and questioning and rethinking the social agreements we have made  - Dismantling the hierarchy of fashion with percentage based salaries. - Partnerships vs. “representation and inclusion” Guiding questions:  - 10x thinking: Think of what you want and expand it by 10, 100 (question borrowed from Hayley Carr). - What would this ideal future look like 10 times? 100 times? (question borrowed from Hayley Carr).  - If we were already there, in our ideal fashion future, what would we be doing differently? (Hayley Carr)  - What does fashion/ design look like when it goes beyond creating more things? When it is based upon cultivating relationships, community, care towards ourselves, one another and the Earth?  Resources: - Hayley Carr - Dissolve Problems by Thinking Bigger (a guide) podcast episode: https://blubrry.com/superfreak/65164640/dissolve-problems-by-thinking-bigger-a-guide/  - De-gendering fashion by Alok Vaid-Mennon, on the Conversations with Jason Campbell and Henrietta Gallina: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/conversation-alok-vaid-menon-is-degendering-fashion/id1328893989?i=1000459631480  -Sacred Economics by Charles Eistenstien - https://charleseisenstein.org/books/sacred-economics/  - Robin Wall Kimmerer - Braiding Sweetgrass
