YASMIN

ياسمين REFLECTS ON THE EXPLOITATION IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY OF PEOPLE WHO REPRESENT DIVERSITY, BY THOSE IN POSITIONS OF POWER, WITH NO PERSONAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE DIVERSE INDIVIDUAL’S EXPERIENCE, FOCUSING ON PERFORMATIVE AND TOKENISTIC REPRESENTATION. THE PROJECT EXPLORES HOW DIVERSITY CAN BE INTEGRATED IN A MANNER THAT IS HONESTLY RESPECTFUL AND NON-PERFORMATIVE. EACH DESIGN ELEMENT IS INTERWOVEN WITH YASMIN’S LIFE AND BACKGROUND, IN A HIGHLY SPECIFIC, PERSONAL AND NOT OUTWARDLY OBVIOUS MANNER, TO CREATE A CLOTHING EXPERIENCE WHERE YASMIN FEELS GENUINELY CONSIDERED. THE CLOTHES ARE FOR HER, NOT FOR SPECTACLE.
