FORWARD is pleased to announce the call to submit work to our Winter Edition.
Theme: WAY FORWARD–The Future of Fashion
The year of COVID-19 will be forever marked as a time that impacted every aspect of every individual's life in society– from the way we work, live and learn. It reminded us of humanity's interdependence in this changing world. As we all continue to navigate our changing world, how the industries operate has changed and evolved in the wake of the global pandemic, including Fashion. The industry has realized its shortcomings and has been forced to rethink, reset, and approach Fashion differently. And this is the way forward for the future of Fashion.
However, how each individual, brand, or company chooses to interact with Fashion is different while still leading the way forward, coming together towards a more conscious and resilient future.
As the fashion industry reevaluates itself in the wake of an emergency, its interconnectedness poses a threat of forcing out smaller brands.
To make sure that their future is just as secure, we must support and take inspiration and pride in their views.
FORWARD, as an independent magazine with an independent voice, we're allowed to recognize and endorse independent talents–voices with creative and forward ways of doing things.
The issue themed "WAY FORWARD" seeks to bring all industry creatives together despite their size, volume, weight or status– because it is in individual creativity that we take inspiration from and believe is the way forward.
We call upon all creatives– Designer, Stylist, Influencers, Photographers, Artists, Models, and everyone in between–to tell us how your relationship with Fashion has evolved and how you see the future of Fashion. It is in your vision that we believe, and it is from each other we learn and grow, and together we define the future of Fashion.
