At Marie Claire and Kering's Fashion Our Future event, panelists discussed empowering others to ask the tough questions.
For Dr. Joyce Brown, President of FIT, and climate activist Saad Amer, mentoring the next generation means encouraging others to have tough conversations around sustainability and fashion.
Meanwhile, Dr. Brown is quite literally tasked with mentoring the future generations of the fashion industry in her role as FIT's President. At FIT, sustainability is embedded into the fashion and design curriculum as a way to educate the next generation of business and design leaders. To Dr. Brown, teaching sustainability practices to students is"part of a whole.
Nowadays, consumers care more about sustainability than ever before and it's this attitude that matters to big businesses, added Dr. Brown."Your marketing matters, your advertising matters, your production, your sizes, your colors, your textiles," she said."So it's a movement and it's gaining legs because of the awareness of the consumer."
As mentors, another way to empower people to ask hard questions about their fashion choices is to open up the conversation between generations. Amer explained,"I think that it's so essential to have intergenerational dialogues because I think that there's so much wisdom that we stand to gain from listening to older generations." He believes that the younger generation has"tenacity" and is unwilling to compromise on what they want.
