#FashionsFutureDesigners interview MARINA PATALANO for #ODDAdigital

Though most marginalized women in the medieval period were highly discouraged to exercise their sense of self-expression through dress, others were creating their own narratives. #MarinaPatalano, a graduate of #UniversityofWestminster, debuted her collection this winter, focusing on these “other,” radical, self-empowered beings. Perhaps to imply what protesting behavior looks different from one era of society to the next. In the interview, the designer elaborates on the importance of confidence, conviction, and respect for the marginalized; her love for vintage, sustainable pieces; and the sense of accountability creatives should consider holding in the fashion industry.
