<p class="about-more-text>By collecting, stacking and linking these modes of (online) doing, making and experiencing fashion in its aesthetic, social and political forms, the Directory looks beyond the material product that fashion offers. While some of the subcategories are highly specific, ranging from educational programmes and experiments in digital materiality, to critical and independent practices that investigate the production of value, the impact of distorted images on our online identity, and the ability to self-publish online as a form of hacking traditional (fashion) media. | <p class="about-more-text>By collecting, stacking and linking these modes of (online) doing, making and experiencing fashion in its aesthetic, social and political forms, the Directory looks beyond the material product that fashion offers.

<p class="about-more-text> The directory was initially compiled using a spreadsheet and has now, with a lot of help, been developed into a platform library, allowing more experimentation with filters, navigation, terminology and hierarchy. This online environment focuses on short, concise connections. Through the collection process we have found overarching and timely issues that deserve more in-depth analysis and exploration. To fill this void, we are hard at work on our first periodical publication, featuring in-depth readings, conversations and interviews to accompany the growing content of this database. Think of it as a hard copy supplement to this soft copy environment. We hope to launch our first issue in autumn 2024. </p><br> | <p class="about-more-text> The directory was initially compiled using a spreadsheet and has now, with a lot of help, been developed into a platform library, allowing more experimentation with filters, navigation, terminology and hierarchy.
