Can anyone truly escape style and fashion? Whether we wear casual hoodies like in a tech startup, or designer pieces from the catwalk, we all signal something about who we are and where we belong. While many rightly criticise the industry for its consumerism and waste, are we unfairly neglecting fashion as a form of culture and creativity compared to e.g. painting, design, architecture, entrepreneurship, etc?
We'll discuss...
1- How many of our closest friends have a very different style from our own?
Do our clothes say more than just their function? Could they communicate something we didn't intend?
Can we appreciate fashion as art and creativity (like we do for painting, design, architecture, entrepreneurship, etc) while criticising its industry issues?
Join us for a relaxed group conversation where we explore the real life, the grey areas, and how our different cultures and backgrounds shape our views about key topics. Expect real talk, no judgment, and a chance to learn how others see it.
Come for the discussion, stay for the friendships. Our weekly discussion series brings together thoughtful people for honest conversations on relationships, life, and society - with warm social vibes before and after.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Good vibes only: we chat big topics in a chill, respectful way. No arguing - just open-minded exchange.
We warm up with casual socializing (come solo or with friends!)
The topic starts around 7:45/8pm, wraps around 9:30.
🍕 There's pizza, drinks, milkshakes and snacks available at the bar (incl plant-based options)
And most people stay until late for drinks and mingling!
DISCUSSION FORMAT:
Our group conversations are open and flexible! There is a very soft guided flow to ensure we focus on the key questions, and to ensure that everyone gets a balanced opportunity to speak.
We rotate groups intentionally during the discussion so everyone gets to meet a wider mix of people and perspectives
