Knowing ourselves better, and knowing ourselves better through our clothes, may also help us to become better acquainted with those we design for.

 

If our imagination shapes aspects of our personal and/or collective dress sense, our dress sense can also shape our minds, lending distinctive form to our imaginative and behavioural capacity.

 

So, constantly reviewing fashion’s role in forging exactly who we are, and who we want to be, must surely enhance the role of the designer, and heighten a mission to extend the human condition.
