CALLING ALL CREATORS
We at MODE had no idea what to expect when we attended World of Wearable Arts for the first time this last October. In a nutshell; it was one of the most magical and eye opening experiences. The event is more than a show and a competition; it’s an experience that I would encourage anyone who relishes in all things creative to attend. It will awaken your inner child and leave you wanting to create.

We talked with Nahko from Nahko And Medicine For The People about his life in the light of experiencing cancel culture. Learn more about Nahko, his music and experiences in this exclusive interview.

“In my youth, I perpetuated a narrative in my songs that reinforced the pain I was very much still living in. My identity was in a real crisis, and I wouldn’t have access to the right tools, resources, and support until years later to help navigate it in a healthy way.” - Nahko

👸🏻MODE MAGAZINE EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: CECILIA KANG

We interviewed designer of Cecilia Kang Couture ; Cecilia Kang about her life experiences, inspirations and the launch of Fashion Club Inc. Art with Allan Myers-Celebrity Auctioneer & Professional MC

ABOUT Fashion Club Inc. ART
Inc. stands for inclusive.

The purpose was to allow individuals through networking events to dress to excess and express their own personality, passion and desire for clothing. Cecilia and Allan found this and have made Fashion Club Inc. ART; a place for people of all ages, ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds to come together and share their excitement and love of fashion. Yes, fashion can unite and inspire people.

MODE - Do you have any words of advice for aspiring designers?

Cecilia: To aspiring designers, I just would like to say be true to yourself and love yourself. Do not give up and just keep going until you fulfil your dreams. Don't be afraid to fail because failure will only make you a better person and most importantly be kind to one another. You just don't know what others are going through in life right now.
