Nowadays the most popular way for people to communicate is on social media via their mobile phones. But the downside of this solitary method is that it can cause us to compare ourselves to others and leave us feeling insecure about our size, the way we look and even exposed to cyber-bullying. So Complimentary Kindness has created a platform where people can express themselves in person with words that have a positive effect on the well-being of others, in the form of a compliment. Research suggests acts of giving and kindness are associated with positive mental wellbeing so come along and join us at 11.00am-12.30pm on 24th November at the Big Swish Event at the O2 Academy in Islington. Give someone a compliment and make their day! #ComplimentaryKindness
Also join us for a Panel session at 14:00pm!
We will also be moderating the Panel 2 session Beauty Has No Size at 14:00pm – 14:45pm. This discussion aims to explore how size relates to sustainability and how inclusivity and diversity are needed in order to create a more sustainable future for fashion. The panellists are as follows:
Daisy Shubert - a qualified personal stylist and professional speaker with a passion for sustainable fashion. She loves extending the lifetime of a garment, wearing pre-loved instead of new and creating a community around saving clothes from landfill at her bi-annual WALK IN WARDROBE™ event.
Aja Barber - writer, stylist and fashion consultant based in London. Aja's work centres around fashion and intersectional feminism and how the many elements of power often intersect within the fashion and beauty industry. Aja can be found daily, microblogging at Instagram @ajabarber

She currently works as part of the creative team at Katharine Hamnett London whilst studying Fashion Design at UAL and breaking modelling norms in campaigns for Nick Knight, Harley Weir and Carlijn Jacobs featuring in Vogue Italia, I.D, Dazed and Marie Claire.
