Moral Threads is a living archive of creative lives, as told in the designers’ own words.

Thread by thread, these voices are reweaving what fashion can mean across cultures—binding us, artfully, into a global fabric of care.

This project began as a way to spotlight fashion talent I believe in—and quickly became something deeper: a safe space to explore what creativity really is. Not just aesthetics or output, but memory, pressure, intuition, failure, belief. Fashion as a container for ancestry, politics, spiritual survival, and everything in between.

These are far from the editorial pieces I usually write: they are textured, vulnerable, sometimes messy stories about what it takes to create with care, from people I believe are valuable, critical voices within our global creative community.

Moral Threads is for anyone who wants to understand how creativity works from the inside: how it’s affected by geography, illness, loss, joy, community—or the lack of it. These stories aren’t neat; they are honest. And, I know, each will be lasting.

I am eternally grateful for the trust, generosity, vulnerability of words and soul each interviewee has entrusted me with—and I hope you’ll feel the same.

Emerging talent is the bloodline of fashion: they keep creativity lively and expansive, rather than stagnating into a pond of the same creative directors, polluted by fast fashion. Now, more than ever, it’s crucial that we support their work—and the journalists who take the time to tell their stories with care.
