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 advertiser butt-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, alongside supportive and welcoming spaces in which to explore your relationship with fashion, guided and activity-oriented networking that allows for real connections to be made, and skill development focused events.
Topics explored by The Grey explore the important ways that fashion works as a pivotal part of our society, as a means of protest, of identity exploration, and as a universal language shared amongst all of human kind. The Grey aspires to be a conduit for change, so that the next generation of Londons fashion industry feel educated, supported and unified - ready to use fashion to change the world for good.
The Grey events range from pop up libaries, study sessions and co working, to guided networking and panel talks, to vibrant skill shares and creative workshops, as well as lower intensity chances to connect such as walking clubs, run clubs, exhibition trips, CV reviews and much more. (Plus of course a few parties thrown into the mix!)
Issue one of The Grey centers on Gender and fashion, and events are likely to circulate around this theme for the next few months.
