About

I am the biggest Internet enthusiast. As I always say: the Internet raised me. I love to understand people through the lens of new social & media trends. Memes are the truest depiction of reality. I am a thinker. I am multi-disciplinary. I am good at seeing big systems, and at connecting dots. Skills? Critical thinking. Problem solving. Disruptive innovation is the most effective. Storytelling is the value. Be concrete. Challenge, as a verb. Purpose, and a true sense of mission. All my efforts must empower. I am committed to Culture. Make the conversation start.

🔹 https://www.fashionissue.info/ 🔹 Problem: The fashion industry is known for the power it holds and the impact it makes in our society, culture and to the environment. The mainstream fashion publications work as propagators –playing a significant role in not just shaping the fashion industry, but also perpetuating certain core issues within it. How can fashion publications, as a creative industry, be more reflective of the socio-political and environmental zeitgeist without being superficial? And how can the masses play an active role in affecting this shift within the industry? Solution: Fashion Issue is a free participatory digital platform that functions primarily as an information hub: a constantly updated repository of key concepts and words in the socio-political-environmental landscape from the lens of fashion and/or creative industries. It is designed as a tool that simplifies learning, diving deeper and taking action. "When you know better, you do better." –Maya Angelou
