Organised by Season 7
The Power of Style:
An intimate discussion about well being, self confidence, identity and owning your personal style.
When we look good, we feel good is one of the truest statements ever made. The purpose of this event is to engage in a night of discussion and storytelling about the importance of self confidence through self care, understanding one's identity and owning our personal styles. Fashion wouldn't exist without style, and often people don't feel empowered enough to wear the styles of clothing that speaks to them the most. This often dives deeper into questions of identity, lack of confidence and the pressure of society and trends. We want to encourage people to be bold enough to live in their truth and unapologetically express themselves. We use fashion and style as a topic to lead a discussion more about empowerment, our well being, what we do to stay confident, motivated, inspired and most of all how we love on ourselves. The fashion industry doesn't discuss this enough, so we aim to encourage and empower our audience and have them leave inspired or having inspired others.
This event is put on by Season 7, a multibrand e-commerce platform that sells statement coats, jackets and accessories with an agenda to inspire and empower. Our brand ethos, embraces and values personal style and, as a brand, we encourage our customers to embrace theirs. Focusing on the notion of style and uniqueness, Season 7 is here to develop a community that encourages and celebrates personal and individual style.
