Fashion is an industry that circles around the self. Our tiny network determines the longlasting effects on self images, ideals, expectations, identities - of the creatives working on the inside AND the prospect on the outside.
So what do we need to accomplish? A healthy treatment of our βselvesβ. That starts with communicating what YOU need to feel good and healthy.
Itβs scary to speak up, especially if the other party is more powerful and has all the resources to win an argument - even if you both know YOU are right.
Then still, for the sake of your self image - make a point, use your voice, see what happens. π¬π

Itβs important to flag transgressive behavior in the fashion industry ππ―
As a foundation, TMHP has an ongoing conversation with Mariette Hamer, the Dutch governmental commissioner for cross-border sexuality and sexual violence, to see how we can support each other across the sector.
We know that almost the majority of people working in the creative industries has experiences some form of such behavior. The media world in general, has seen quite some scandals last year. But still, itβs challenging to completely prevent these forms of behavior.
Why? Because what is completely okΓ© for one person is not alright for another. The answer lies in BOUNDARIES and action oriented CONVERSATIONS. π¬

Fashion week is around the corner. Some smaller cities have already kicked off. We expect big statements - from ecological to political. After all, fashion is a voice to be interpreted by the beholder.
We want to wish everybody involved a massive GOOD LUCK, COURAGE and the capacity to stay TRUE to yourself. No matter how successful the upcoming period will be for you, embrace itβs lessons, be kind and set boundaries. ππ§‘π
