DIS/CONNECTED

Together, apart. 

Dis/connected explores the lack of connection we have all experienced this past year due to a global pandemic. Despite our ability to stay in touch using technology, the longing for authentic companionship is prominent. While Dis/connected aims to unpack our feelings of loneliness, Dis/connected also interrogates the fashion industry in its current state—particularly the way the Canadian fashion industry is perceived. Fusing two fashion capitals, one emerging and one established, Dis/connected prompts the viewer to question who is at the forefront of the fashion industry and why that is. Technology and old ideologies converse with each other through this visual editorial to spark dialogue and reflection on how we envision the future of fashion.
