My career actually started in the fashion industry. For two years from 2003, I worked as a press assistant for a high fashion brand. The first place I worked as a new graduate student was a Japanese apparel company that had a license for that brand at the time. Also, my parents' house was a kimono retail store that was founded in Nihonbashi in 1900, and I don't think I was the type to be picky about what I wore since I was a child. When I was in elementary school, I thought about coordinating clothes with only two colors, black and white, and put it into practice.
Luckily, I spent most of my weekdays in my school uniform, so I don't think my quirky fashion sense was exposed.
I've never been completely unrelated to fashion, but after having a child, my way of thinking about environmental issues has changed considerably since before I gave birth, so my way of thinking about clothes has changed accordingly. When I heard that a new film about fashion was announced this time, I was naturally interested in it. I jumped at it. The title is "Fashion Re-Imagine". This is a documentary closely related to the work of a woman named Amy Powney, creative director of the British brand Mother of Pearl, who creates sustainable clothes.
As for the reason why I decided to write here, one is that I was deeply moved by the sincere way of life of a female creator trying to bring about a revolution in the existing fashion industry. I have become deeply interested in the environmental issues surrounding the apparel industry.
How much environmental pollution is caused by the process of manufacturing clothes by modern people on this earth? How many people are aware of this issue now? how is it? For those who are still unaware of this, I hope that this movie will serve as an opportunity to broaden their interest, and that we can think about this issue together.
