Fashion has been notoriously infamous for the intensified presence of gatekeepers, separating those in and out of the industry. It has been humorously likened to a bubble full of peacocks and pigeons, presenting a dreamlike alternative to the everyday. However, due to the swift democratisation of fashion through social media and immediate accessibility from screen to the catwalk, it has seeped into the lives of all. In moving forward, fashion must continue to push and adapt to disruptive change and therefore it can no longer afford to look within. While national boarders may be tightening, it is imperative to develop increased inter-industry links in order to react to the realities of the digital age. “Travel, technology, finance, music, hospitality and health – all are battling their own challenges and coming up with their own, unique solutions” and by looking elsewhere, fashion can learn from these other industries’ individual tactics. This requires an open minded approach and platforms for linking various industry minds together. Yes, we can learn from each other and move forward together.
