Episode 05: What Can Smallness Look Like? On Clothes-wearing & Grounded Action

I had a really good time speaking to Esther in this episode, chatting about our personal experiences and relationships with consumption and ways of relating to wear and clothing. It was a very refreshing conversation, and I think, an accurate representation of how I see and relate to the work that I do. This episode is special because I think there isn’t a specific call to action. I hope we just sit in these thoughts and let them ferment before we start thinking about our relationship with clothes. I hope you enjoy this raw, honest and open conversation between 2 clothes wearers, one that doesn’t have definitions or answers—only our perspective of the world through how we see and reimagine it. -------- Intro (0:43) The relationship with ‘Wear’ (5:29) ‘Smallness’ v.s. ‘Bigness’ (12:43) The ‘Wear We Are’ Telegram channel (18:07) The ‘Wear We Live’ directory for local small and secondhand businesses (25:20) Working and healing through ‘fashion’ personally and collectively (37:58) -------- LINKS & SOURCES MENTIONED Esther’s blog post, ‘small is beautiful: https://raah.blog/2021/07/05/small-is-beautiful/ Wear We Live https://wearwelive.space/ -------- Connect with Esther: Instagram @wear__we__are Wear We Live @wearwelive.sg -------- Find more information at rewearpodcast.carrd.co (transcript, additional resources) The re:wear glossary: https://tinyurl.com/rewearglossarymobile | https://tinyurl.com/rewearglossarydesktop Watch the episode here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXrd0ONQuPijPm5TF4qte1w Follow us on Instagram @thefashionpulpit Send enquiries, feedback and constructive criticism to xingyun@thefashionpulpit.com Produced by PodcastMate @podcastmate.co Contact them at nash@podcastmate.co

Episode 04: Who Does the ‘Made In Singapore’ Label Serve?

This episode is one of many living questions. We question the fervent need to define ‘Singapore Fashion’ and discuss how we can participate in the system beyond wear, ownership and consumption. Weiqi emphasises the need for industry-level introspection and discourse in order for our local industry to recognise that its ongoing practices and ways of working are unsustainable. Singapore Fashion needs accountability, not definitions. -------- Intro (0:43) What is fashion? (7:58) Can we define Singapore fashion? (11:22) The potential of fashion as a medium that everyone participates in (19:45) How care can be embellished in everyday wear (22:20) The relationship between Fashion Media and its readers (28:50) Seeing Fashion in different spaces outside of consumption (33:02) Singapore Fashion needs industry-level introspection (49:48) -------- LINKS & SOURCES MENTIONED Vogue SG street style article: https://vogue.sg/lasalle-college-of-the-arts-fashion-students-street-style-singapore/ HerWorld article: https://www.herworld.com/fashion/singapore-really-fashion-capital-or-just-shopping-one/ Prestige article: https://www.prestigeonline.com/sg/style/fashion/singapore-designers-change-fashion-industry/ Weiqi’s articles: Performing Femininity: Aprons, Capes and School Uniforms https://www.asianfilmarchive.org/performing-femininity-aprons-capes-and-school-uniforms/ Meet the Singaporean designers changing the way we dress, design and age https://vogue.sg/singapore-adaptive-fashion-werable-will-and-well-claudia-poh-elisa-lim/ Queering Through Dress: ‘Dress/Address’ at Grey Projects https://www.fashionandmarket.net/news-and-reviews/queering-through-dress-dressaddress-at-grey-projects -------- Connect with Weiqi: Instagram @coqillage Work & Research @fashionondisplay -------- Find more information at rewearpodcast.carrd.co (transcript, additional resources) The re:wear glossary: https://tinyurl.com/rewearglossarymobile | https://tinyurl.com/rewearglossarydesktop Watch the episode here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXrd0ONQuPijPm5TF4qte1w Follow us on Instagram @thefashionpulpit Send enquiries, feedback and constructive criticism to xingyun@thefashionpulpit.com Produced by PodcastMate @podcastmate.co Contact them at nash@podcastmate.co

Episode 03: The Fermentation of Materials and Ourselves(!)

In this episode, Fashion Educator and Bio-Materials Researcher Kae Hana, sits down with us to discuss their process of experimenting with growing their own vegan leather with SCOBY. From that, our conversation evolved into speaking about the nuances of the sustainability movement, how sustainability principles have diluted into marketing speak under capitalism, and the fermentation of, you guessed it, the SCOBY, and, ourselves.

Episode 02: Growing (Old) With Our Clothes

In this episode, we speak to Daniela Monasterios-Tan, fashion lecturer, researcher and curator based in Singapore, and Erliana of FIN Crafted Goods about the journey we share with our clothes.

Daniela shares about what 8 years of wear and care looks like on a pair of jeans, Erliana speaks about the story of a late father’s Hawaiian shirt collection, and I speak about the relationship I have with my clothes.
