Keynote: Fashion Without Limits (r) : Changing the face of fashion"

"IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME":

In the US alone, 100+ million women size 14 or higher, are demanding more fashion-forward clothing than ever, leaving a whopping 20B + of missed revenue (and satisfied customers) on the table.

  • Not only is this a cultural quagmire, it's an economic one.
  • Today's fashion designers, retailers, and design schools have the key to fix our sluggish fashion economy by supplying the fashion industry with inclusive fashion designers to supply this thirsty market with inclusive apparel.

  • It all starts with education.

  • Now in it's 9th year, Syracuse University's Fashion Without Limits design Program is going strong.

  • Once student designers work on size 0-24 dress forms, they learn proper proportions of scale from one form to another, then the creative process is normalized and young designers see no reason why fashion couldn't be made available for all women.
  • The good news is, the curriculum doesn't need to change just awareness for proper proportions, illustrations, designs, grades, tech fits, and pattern making - for extended sizes.
  • Happy to say a welcomed cultural mindset shift embracing fashion beyond the fashion elite is underfoot.
