Inclusive Design
n. a process in which a product, service, or environment is designed to be usable for as many people as possible, particularly groups who are traditionally excluded from being able to use an interface or navigate an environment.
The focus of fashion has historically never been on inclusion, authenticity, or on the expression of who you are. Most people have to forego their authentic selves to fit into stylish fashionable molds. Everything, from advertising to seasonal trends, within the industry is aimed at making individuals feel a sense of urgency, a need to get the latest designs, “everyone is wearing it so you must too.” Not only have they harmed self-confidence, and exaggerated body image issues for an entire generation, they’ve done it while chomping down on trees at a speed faster than an airplane. Thus when we think of inclusive design, we think of something designed for everyone as well as the planet, made with consideration for the environment and care for who is wearing it. It is time for a revolution within this industry and we can see signs of it everywhere. It is time to break open the gates for everyone, it is time to replace the perfect body with every-body.
This kind of change has to be instigated from within, featured here is the story of a collection by Tintory featured in Beyond the Boundaries on Flourish.
Tintory’s series of inclusive designs are an explosion of thoughts that scream for cultural rebirth, the revival of social constructs and pleads to nurture the environment. It is a bold depiction that addresses the need to respect human choices, act more socially responsible and also lift each other irrespective of any societal barriers.
Here is a brief note by the founder-designer of Tintory, Nivedha about breaking these barriers in her designs to make a sustainable inclusive collection:
The design process begins with the notion of incorporating an alternative to the most unsustainable textile - the classic denim. Beginning with the amount of water used in the production of denim to the effluents emitted in the water bodies, it's needless to say that denim is not anywhere close to eco-friendly. We worked with artisans to bring the organic Khadi denim to light. Made from rain-fed organic cotton, meticulously handspun and handwoven by artisans, the khadi denim is the future of sustainable textiles. To highlight the rawness of denim and its beautiful texture, all our ensembles are majorly dye-free. We have only added a dash of natural colors to elevate the look of the garments. The galaxy (a collection of stars / a vast group of distinct people or things) was a source of inspiration for the color scheme as well as the sprinkle dyeing technique incorporated in this collection. To pay justice to our brand ethics and values, this collection is created with natural fabrics handcrafted from start to end using plastic-free processes. The garments of this collection were shot with LGBTQ community to create impact and spread a clear message
This collection has been made by Tintory in partnership with Akhilesh, UN climate leader and founder of Prolove FashionYou can find this collection only on Flourish.shop.

Hey, this is Eric and I ran across flourish.shop a few minutes ago.
Looks great… but now what?
By that I mean, when someone like me finds your website – either through Search or just bouncing around – what happens next? Do you get a lot of leads from your site, or at least enough to make you happy?
Honestly, most business websites fall a bit short when it comes to generating paying customers. Studies show that 70% of a site’s visitors disappear and are gone forever after just a moment.
Here’s an idea…
How about making it really EASY for every visitor who shows up to get a personal phone call you as soon as they hit your site…
You can –
Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. It signals you the moment they let you know they’re interested – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re literally looking over your site.
CLICK HERE http://boostleadgeneration.com to try out a Live Demo with Talk With Web Visitor now to see exactly how it works.
You’ll be amazed – the difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus a half-hour or more later could increase your results 100-fold.
It gets even better… once you’ve captured their phone number, with our new SMS Text With Lead feature, you can automatically start a text (SMS) conversation.
That way, even if you don’t close a deal right away, you can follow up with text messages for new offers, content links, even just “how you doing?” notes to build a relationship.
Pretty sweet – AND effective.
