Can you commit to sustainability while designing clothing and how can the fashion industry and consumers strike the balance for more responsible choices?
Luxury fashion designer Mark Kenly Domino Tan is known for his sense of craftsmanship in textiles and tailoring and has dressed celebrities including Lady Gaga and the Crown Princess of Denmark. In a conversation with Kristina May, he reveals his perspectives on responsible fashion. From his experience at Dior and Balenciaga to launching his own brand, he explores the challenge of designing responsibly sourced, timeless pieces that redefine the relationship between clothing and the wearer. Emphasizing beauty, durability, and expressive adaptability, he contends that real change requires both brands and consumers to commit to specialization.
