« Why is the focus only on the aesthetic and not on sizing? In the end, what matters is not how the clothes look on a sample size model but how they look on our bodies. » @eljosecriales 👏🏾 businessoffashion.com/opinions/retai… @BoF
« If brands are serious about creating a gender-inclusive industry, they need to commit to offering degendered sizing and proposing alternatives to the cut of their products. Few do, even as the number of labels marketing to genderless customers grows. » @eljosecriales @BoF
«These efforts often feel more like merchandising strategies than projects aimed to serve the community. When creating these collections, brands must consider if they are designing for us or if they are simply assigning products to us.» @eljosecriales businessoffashion.com/opinions/retai… @BoF
«Being gender inclusive is not about cutting the same pair of trousers in two extra sizes or simply casting an array of androgynous-looking sample size models. It is about considering the nuances of different bodies and designing for them.» @eljosecriales businessoffashion.com/opinions/retai…
« In the end, the work is not about adding separate options that categorize and divide us, but about erasing the divide that limits all of us to experience fashion under our own terms. » @eljosecriales businessoffashion.com/opinions/retai… @BoF
