I'll be honest with you, not 100% familiar with the terms cultural preservation vs cultural appropriation so I have some reading to do. Not sure if Stella Lucchi falls under one or the other and how but sharing @nycfairtrade post... Love the thought provoking conversations had at the SFCC - that's one of the reasons why I love @nycfairtrade - always forcing me to grow and learn. Comments/thoughts are always welcome. 💚♻️🌍 Reposted from @nycfairtrade Who is seen as preserving culture and who is labeled as an appropriator? . That was the conversation filling up the air at The Sustainable Fashion Community Center last week. So often these conversations never settle on one side but pull more people to the middle. . It is easy to come out in favor or against controversial topics. It is more difficult to hold two competing opinions but that is what we do at the NYC Fair Trade Coalition. We talk through the black and white opinions and find ourselves comfortably in the nuance. . What we can all agree on is we love @ponchosrojas effortless combination of past and present. We love @stellalucchi_ breathing new life into forgotten pieces. . This look was a part of the @texworldnyc showcase. It was amazing to see members brands styled together by the amazing @rere.stylenyc . Interested in joining our next designer collaboration? We are looking for a shoe and bag designer to show at NY Fashion Week with us! DM to learn more! . See you in the grey spaces. . . . #explore #fairtrade #sustainablefashion #ethicalfashion #greyspaces #nuance #culturalpreservation #bolivia #ponchosrojas #stellalucchi Reposted from @nycfairtrade (at Texworld Usa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chple8ru3gN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
