" fashion-ability" can be used to build self-esteem and courage beyond consumerism. This means engaging in fashion on “one’s own terms”, to resist the power and violence of fashion supremacy that makes our peers the “judges” of our fashionability, and where ideals of beauty and hierarchies of values are “weapons of repression”

fashion-ability can take many forms, but will:
- Be based on fashion, not anti-fashion
- Be constructive, building values that challenge fashion supremacy
- Break the pacifying consumerist order of the dominant system
- Highlight the social and ethical resistance to fashion supremacy
- Mobilise people to share the experience of empowerment
- Use the garment to produce personal and social consequences, such as new forms of togetherness.
repairing clothes is a simple proactive act of increasing emotional attachment to a garment. This displaces some of the garment’s “fashion commodity status to instead highlight its role as a companion… The act of care builds self-esteem and independence” (2014, p. 280). Otto organised a social repair workshop, where “instead of simply restoring the garment back to its original status, everyone had to cut a small piece of his or her garment that would become a patch for someone else’s garment”.
