Attending lectures has been really interesting and inspiring.
They helped me to approach myself to a new way of thinking about the Fashion System.
I find really difficult to focus on only one lecture. Each of them left me something important.
The one who probably caught my attention was the first lecture we did in the unit, “Power” by Julia Crew. I loved the way she connected power to different topics related to fashion. 

Especially the power we have to change the world in a better place for different reasons.
We have the power to create a more sustainable fashion system. We have the power to improve underpaid employees’ life. We have the power to fight against social exploitation. We have the power to create a fashion system who sustain diversity and inclusivity. We have the power to revolutionise our world through knowledge. As Mrs Crew said, power is individual but it is also collective.
Another class who inspired me particularly was “Inclusion” by Laura Salisbury. It was interesting to see how a design can include elderly people and people with different kind of disabilities without special adaption. This is something I had never thought about it before. It surprised me to see how many steps forward we did so far. I hope the fashion community will be able to expand these designs for every person who needs it and also to represent it in the correct way.
Through this journey, we talked a lot about sustainability. We are lucky enough to be part of a new generation who is trying to fight for our world. It was surprising to see how the movement started to develop, as Nina Stevenson explained during class.
I never imagined how much this unit could involve me into it. It gave me a new point of view that I never considered before but that I am sure I will carry with me forever.
