fashion and community published by daylon hicks

It goes without saying that fashion stands as one of the most influential industries. With its impact spanning intersections across art, music, technology, and culture, fashion stands as a focal point that not only carries a historic power of expression but also continues to push creativity forward. Within our community, we identified people who showcase their own style, placing strong emphasis on individuality and expression while highlighting how fashion can serve as both a personal statement and a collective influence. At the heart of each person featured with their specific style is a dedication to self-expression. 

Adore Amore, assistant designer at Levi’s, channels classic Americana with timeless denim silhouettes and heritage styling. Chris Panicker, senior designer at Pitchfork, embraces an experimental aesthetic through bold textures and deconstructed layering. Gizem Vural leans into minimalism with clean lines, neutral palettes, and refined tailoring. Jermtown explores color theory, using vibrant palettes and expressive styling to define his look. Joyce Von Doehlen fuses fashion, music, and tech with aesthetics that provides pure energy. Jacq Banal, at Fenty Hair, blends archival influences with modern cuts for a nostalgic-meets-now aesthetic. Mekhi Marcelino of Rhude elevates menswear with sharp tailoring, luxe streetwear, and brand-focused design.

Community and fashion go hand in hand, as countless creatives build their work around it, emphasizing its evolving role and lasting influence. Creatives such as Hartcopy, who centers their work on shoes, Rhys McKee aka Cake Not Crumbs, who shares updates on current trends, and Rachel Spanjersberg, who highlights her personality, show that there are countless paths to explore and opportunities to learn from the journeys that creativity has taken. 

As creative expression continues to evolve, pushing boundaries and elevating experimentation to unprecedented levels, it opens new possibilities for innovation, inspires fresh perspectives, and encourages individuals to explore their own unique approaches to style and self-expression.
