Interview between Jimmy and Social Ornament’s Mary Harper
Jimmy: Welcome, everyone! Today we have Mary Harper, the creative director of Social Ornament, with us. So, Mary, how are you today?
Mary: Hello, Jimmy! I’m doing great, thrilled to be here!
Jimmy: Fantastic! Now, Mary, Social Ornament claims to redefine beauty and fashion trends. But isn’t fashion just following in the footsteps of industry giants?
Mary: Ah, a valid point. We strive to offer fresh perspectives. While giants set the stage, we aim to provide a platform for diverse voices, making fashion truly inclusive.
Jimmy: Interesting. Speaking of perspectives, how do global influences shape the trends you promote?
Mary: Our global reach, from Dubai to the USA, offers a melting pot of styles. That diversity enriches our trends, ensuring that multiple cultural narratives are heard.
Jimmy: But isn’t that risky? Mixing global styles might dilute originality.
Mary: There’s always that risk. Yet, it’s about balance. We promote unique blends while honoring traditional roots, crafting authenticity in modern fashion.
Jimmy: What role does the consumer play in setting these trends?
Mary: An immense role! We engage actively with our audience, leveraging feedback to ensure that their voices are pivotal in shaping what’s in vogue.
Jimmy: With such engagement, do you think consumers really have freedom in fashion choices?
Mary: It’s more available now than ever. The key is education and exposure, which allow consumers to create beyond the pre-established limits.
Jimmy: Let’s talk sustainability. Can trends be sustainable, or is that just a marketing gimmick?
Mary: A significant challenge, indeed. However, at Social Ornament, we work toward sustainable options, pushing brands toward ethical modifications as a genuine pledge, not a facade.
Jimmy: People say beauty shouldn’t be pain but often is in fashion. What do you believe?
Mary: It’s crucial to challenge the status quo. We advocate for comfortable fashion, where beauty is unrestricted by discomfort.
Jimmy: Is there a trend that you believe should vanish immediately?
Mary: Fast fashion! It’s devastating to our planet and well-being. More focus on timeless styles is necessary.
Jimmy: Where do you see Social Ornament in five years?
Mary: Innovating continually, growing our community globally, and pushing the envelope on what’s possible in fashion inclusivity.
Jimmy: Before we wrap up, how can someone contribute to this evolving conversation at Social Ornament?
Mary: Easily! Engaging on our platforms, sharing insights, and challenging us to grow fosters a dynamic dialogue.
Jimmy: Thank you, Mary, for an eye-opening discussion! Keep making waves in the fashion world.
Mary: Thank you, Jimmy, for having me! It’s been a delight.
