<p>Is sustainability only for white people? Is being a fashion influencer hypocritical? Do Gen-Z need to get their head out of their ass? </p><br><p>Aditi Mayer is a multi-hyphenated storyteller whose mediums span film, photography, journalism, creative direction, and modeling— creating a body of work that has explored themes of fashion and culture. Nadir deep dives into her practise to learn more about the intersections of culture, fashion and sustainability. </p><br><p>Have our cultures always embodied sustainable practise? If so, how? Aditi introduces the idea of inter-generational knowledge transfer, and how much there is to learn about identity and sustainable cultural practise from our elders. How clothes and textiles traditionally told stories of who we are, and the more we distance ourselves from the sacred connection to textiles the further away our identity drifts away. </p><br><p>Follow Aditi: @aditimayer</p><br><p>Follow me here! </p><p>Instagram: @nadir.nahdi</p><p>TikTok: @nadirnahdi </p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
