ALL INXCLUSIVE: A Manifesto of Fashion, Art and Unity

A Manifesto of Fashion, Art and Unity by UNmoda

Inclusivity is a necessity in today's world. As our societies become more interconnected, the need for understanding and valuing each other's differences becomes increasingly important. The ALL INCXLUSIVE collection by UNMODA is a response to this need offering a vision of inclusivity that goes beyond the surface. Inclusivity matters because it promotes a sense of belonging and respect. It encourages us to see the world through different perspectives, enriching our own experiences and promoting empathy. By adopting inclusivity, we create a world where everyone is valued and respected, regardless of their background, beliefs or appearance.

 

The ALL INCXLUSIVE collection is a reminder that fashion can be a powerful tool for promoting inclusivity. It is a celebration of diversity that encourages us to see the beauty in our differences and to work towards a more inclusive and compassionate world.

The ALL INCXLUSIVE collection represents our belief in inclusivity, diversity and unity. The collection transcends traditional fashion boundaries, merging art, philosophy and contemporary culture into a cohesive narrative that we hope will resonate deeply with the essence of humanity. It is an invitation to look beyond the surface, to explore the depths of what it means to be truly inclusive in a world often divided by visible and invisible barriers.

 

The Roots

At its core, the ALL INCLUSIVE collection is a deep intellectual exploration of human identity and diversity. While fashion brands have made strides in celebrating varying skin tones and body shapes, we are daring to venture further. This collection delves into the intangible aspects of inclusiveness, challenging superficial definitions and pushing for a more profound understanding of our shared humanity.

The approach is not merely about representing different physical appearances but about accepting the multitude of backgrounds, beliefs, thoughts, cultures and religions. In a world where societal divisions often seem more pronounced than ever, ALL INCXLUSIVE calls for a radical rethinking of our collective identity. It poses critical questions: Can we find common ground even amidst conflicting views? Can we celebrate the richness of our differences while forging a shared path forward? And our answer is a resounding yes.

This intellectual pursuit of inclusiveness is a call to embrace the entirety of human experience. It encourages us to see beyond the visible and to appreciate the diversity of thoughts and beliefs that enrich our world. In doing so, ALL INCLUSIVE aims to encourage a sense of unity that transcends superficial differences, promoting empathy, understanding and respect.

 

Artistic Expression through Fashion

The ALL INCXLUSIVE collection is a living, breathing work of art. Each piece is meticulously crafted to reflect the diverse beauty of human existence. The palette draws inspiration from the myriad skin tones that populate our world, serving as a tribute to the spectrum of humanity. These tones are represented by names familiar to our daily lives, such as Latte, Cappuccino, Espresso and Doppio, reflecting our shared love for coffee and the everyday elements that define us.

The design journey involves the fusion of traditional techniques with contemporary innovations resulting in pieces that are timeless yet avant-garde. The collection embraces imperfections and idiosyncrasies, celebrating the individuality of each wearer and reminding us that fashion, at its best, is a form of self-expression—a canvas upon which we paint our identities. We hope that this approach transforms fashion into a medium for storytelling, where each garment tells a story of love, respect and kindness. We believe that true inclusiveness goes beyond aesthetic representation. It requires an authentic commitment to understanding and valuing each other's experiences. 

ALL INCXLUSIVE is also aligned with the growing movement towards sustainability in fashion. By prioritising ethically sourced materials and environmentally conscious production methods, the collection highlights our commitment to driving positive change in both our communities and our planet.

 

The Concept of INSPIRED BY HUMANITY

It is a celebration of the many shades of humanity, each with its unique beauty and significance. The collection encourages us to see the world through a lens of inclusivity, appreciating the richness and diversity of human experience.

The INSPIRED BY HUMANITY campaign became the driving force behind the ALL INCLUSIVE collection. This campaign was not just about fashion but a celebration of the diversity in human experiences promoting a deeper understanding of inclusivity. The campaign's focus on skin tones as a colour palette reflects our commitment to representing the full spectrum of humanity. By naming the colours after familiar coffee drinks, such as Latte, Cappuccino, Espresso and Doppio, we have tried to emphasise the everyday nature of diversity. These names remind us that diversity is not an abstract concept but a fundamental part of our daily lives. 

 

The inclusion of black and white in the collection, representing the ends of the complexion spectrum, highlights a powerful message. While these colours are often used to refer to human complexion, we have also created room for a "guest colour"—an open invitation to welcome, accept and be kind. This twelfth spot remains unfilled, symbolising the ever-evolving nature of inclusivity and the importance of remaining open to new perspectives and experiences.

ALL INCXLUSIVE  is our bold declaration of what fashion can be. It is intellectual, artistic and contemporary—an exploration of our shared humanity that transcends the confines of the runway. This collection invites us to reimagine the possibilities of inclusivity, to see fashion not just as clothing but as a reflection of our collective evolution.

 

In ALL INCXLUSIVE, we are attempting to find a celebration of diversity that goes beyond the surface, an artistic expression that speaks to the soul, and a contemporary vision that paves the way for a more inclusive and compassionate world. 

This is more than fashion. This, we believe, is the future.
