Embracing Individuality and Inclusivity in Fashion and Style

Stella Bugbee, the Styles Editor at the New York Times, discusses her passion for fashion and style, emphasizing the importance of embracing individuality and inclusivity in the industry. She believes that fashion should not be prescriptive or exclusionary, but rather a personal form of self-expression that everyone can enjoy and participate in. Stella aims to create a space where people can freely express themselves and cultivate their own relationship with fashion, encouraging them to think beyond traditional hierarchies and embrace both high and low fashion. She also highlights the intersection between fashion and power, recognizing the impact that clothing and personal style can have on social currency and the way individuals are perceived and treated.
