AUCKLAND, New Zealand — My brand chooses to be based far from the traditional fashion centres. Once upon a time, being thousands of kilometres from New York or London would have made it impossible for a brand to have a global presence. Now, it’s seamless and virtuously unnoticeable, because in the digital conversation and retail arena, no one cares or notices where you are. All that matters is the quality of the ideas and the conversation.

Wherever your business is located, the need for new ideas about the rhythm of the global fashion system couldn’t be greater than it is right now. Fashion may be about reinvention but you could equally well describe it as being about built-in obsolescence. If something’s in fashion then it follows that, some day, it will be out of fashion. Every fashion item comes with a use-by date. The industry thrives, survives and, arguably, dies because of this obsolescence.

The top end of fashion’s pyramid has responded to the rise of fast-fashion by emulating a similar model. Collections. Pre-collections. Pre-pre-collections. Every one of them has a use-by date. It’s confronting to see rail upon rail of sale being pushed out the door while, at the same time, the delivery truck’s pulling up with the next season, which — if we’re being really honest here— often isn’t that much different. Sometimes you can’t tell the new from the old, and yet, the industry demands more, more, more.

We’re constantly seeing evidence of the effect that the industry’s demands, timelines and sheer scale have had on the creatives who are burnt out, on the consumer who’s either overwhelmed or spoiled, and on the planet, which is groaning under the pressure of our over-consumption.

Recently, I’ve become more interested in wrestling the timeline back from the system: of challenging the time allowed to develop product, the time allowed for it to exist on the shop floor before the red marker comes out, and the time the customer allows it to live in their wardrobe.
