our goal is to empower young people to make small changes in their everyday lives, in the hopes that all of these changes will make a meaningful impact on the world around us. we see all the opportunities for positive change in the world around us, particularly in relation to our everyday lifestyles and habits, the fashion industry and the environment. we want to inspire young people to take control of their own power, in a world where many feel powerless, and harness their potential to create significant change in these areas. 

 

we believe that knowledge is power, so we use the platforms where young people show up, like instagram and substack, to inform, educate and ignite passion. we are also focused on creating a sense of community and belonging, through events, forums and workshops, to ensure that everyone feels welcome and included in their own sustainability journey.

 

too often, australia is seen as slow, backward and behind in the fashion world. especially here in canberra, where the fashion scene is full of talent, but doesn’t have the resources or community to create the thriving industry we’d love to see. there are so many great opportunities to tap into here, we have our own little progressive bubble, lots of people with high income, students and innovators, and tons of talent. we just need to take advantage of these opportunities. everyone here wears clothes, everyone wants to look and feel good, so we are keen to create that inspiration and leverage that untapped market. we are here to help all creatives thrive, and we want to uplift that talent locally, rather than sending it elsewhere. 

​

we are creating an online and in person community of educators, innovators and creatives, hoping to make a positive social and environmental difference to the world around us. at true soul collective, we aim to host community events, run workshops and create opportunities for young and emerging designers to make a name and space for themselves in the local industry.

​

here and now, we're looking into the future.
