When creative communities start organizing, progress can start slowing.
In this Style Chat, host Sable Williams explores the fine line between building community and building bureaucracy, and why so many creative circles lose their spark once they become structured organizations.
Drawing from her own experiences within fashion organizations, Sable breaks down how well-intentioned groups can unintentionally create bottlenecks, stall ideas, and shift focus away from the people who actually make things happen.
Her proposed solution? Give fashion creatives access to the resources, visibility, and support they need to build their own lanes. Instead of one organization trying to control the narrative, imagine a connected network of independent fashion creators sharing their progress, partnerships, and projects, collectively moving the culture forward.
