DEMOCRATISING FASHION  

The Grey is a fashion-adjacent platform consisting of a physical magazine, online blog, online chat server and community event series. 

Fashion is a world linked to frivolity, vanity and an exceptionally cut throat, elitist work ethic. Fashion media is a world linked to clickbait, celebrity worship and luxury advertiser ass-kissing. 

The Grey is a hub ushering in a new era of fashion. No gatekeeping, no gaslighting, no girlbossing - instead The Grey offers accessible educational resources and insightful journalism, alongside supportive and welcoming spaces in which to explore your relationship with fashion.

Topics explored by The Grey explore the important ways that fashion works as a pivotal, and always political, part of our society - as a means of protest, of identity exploration, and as a universal language shared amongst us all.

For fashion lovers, not fashion followers.

ONE WORD AT A TIME 
Issue 2 of our print magazine Explores the deep and dangerous  intersection between fashion and conflict.  this industry hurts us all, on a global, individual and emotional level - it's time to air that laundry.  

The fashion industry masquerades as something frivolous and meaningless, quietly perpetuating everything from femicide, to ecocide, overconsumption to isolation, even global conflicts. There is always clothing on our backs. As atrocities are committed and individual struggles are undertaken, our clothing is always there - hidden in plain sight.

Issue 3 of The Grey explores this theme through editorials, articles, poetry, artwork and essays from a global network of creators.

Our events Programme spans lectures, WOrkshops, parties and networking.  
Offering supportive, inclusive and affordable opportunities to upskill, connect and DISCOVER. 

The fashion industry leans into its elitist image, operating in a world of exploitation and exclusion. We believe that regardless of background we all deserve to understand the clothes we wear, to feel empowered in the choices we make, and to contribute to discussions around clothing.

Unifying our community, celebrating differences and learning in a shared space is our first step to creating a new and improved fashion system.
