Denier was a newsletter, founded by curator and writer Shonagh Marshall, which ran from July 2020 - August 2022. It aimed to encourage thought around new processes for fashion in the Antropocene. Interviewing a number of people from across the fashion industry, the conversations were framed within the boundaries of fashion’s existing relationship to the three pillars of sustainability: people, the planet and profit. Each conversation invited the reader to think about the possibility for different systems for the future.
