"I am an independent designer running my own clothing brand; Janus. I would like to facilitate and sustain a supportive community of artists in Manchester through this programme and my line of work in fashion! I was on my way to an interview when I thought about this prompt. I had decided to wear a pair of my favourite boots! I had worn this boots to all my previous job interviews, I had also worn these boots to hand in my resignation at a job where I was unhappy. I had worn these boots on nights out with my friends and to community projects. As I was walking to my interview, I thought about all the times I had worn these boots and how they made me feel confident and powerful! I wondered if others had a similar piece of clothing item that represented something similar for them. This prompt encourages us to mindfully engage with their self-expression through fashion. By choosing and wearing our favorite pieces, we can explore how clothing influences our mood and identity, while the act of sharing creates opportunities for connection and conversation."
