About Your Guide

Who you'll learn with

Your guide, known as T, created "A Practical Guide to Sustainable Style" to share 30 years of experience and research in just 30 minutes.

As a queer, mixed-race person growing up in American suburbs, T was bullied relentlessly for who he was and how he looked... So T created this masterclass to help people feel more confident and celebrate who they are through their personal style.

T began researching the power of fashion and style in earnest at Harvard College, where he became deeply concerned about the many inequities in fashion... So this masterclass also teaches people about how personal style can be the most sustainable, equitable form of fashion.

After completing the masterclass you'll also have the option to continue learning alongside the Reforme U Community.
About Module 1: Reframing Your Mindset

What you'll learn

Key Terms

Words like "sustainable" are often greenwashed and vaguewashed, and terms like "fashion" and "style" are often conflated... So we'll define some key terms to lay a strong, clear foundation for cultivating a healthy mindset.

The Power of Words

Words are powerful, which is why we need to clearly define them. In this section you'll also learn some powerful tools, including filtering, a sufficiency mindset, internal validation, and the power you have over other people's words.

Truths About Fashion

Fashion employs tools such as information asymmetry, perceived obsolescence, and trends in an attempt to control and manipulate us... But here you'll learn how to transcend fashion and focus on you and your style.

Your Power

Fashion tries to control and manipulate people, but fashion also gives us the means to become even more confident, authentic, and fulfilled... In this section you'll learn even more solutions to become the most confident version of you.

Testimonials

Testimonials from the Community

The course provided me with innovative ideas surrounding my relationship with fashion and my philosophy around personal style. These ideas helped me to develop a unique style philosophy that's compatible with environmental and personal wellness.
— Autumn Lucas
The course was easy to follow along with, encouraging, fun, and informative!
— JeLisa Marshall
Can't recommend it highly enough!
— Will Davison
I LOVE the look and feel of it. Super sleek design and easy to navigate modules.
— Tiana Day
This course provides a practical understanding to how a citizen can contribute to revolutionizing fashion as a whole through style while enhancing your sense of individuality and confidence.
— Veronica Apsan
One does not need to be a 'fashionista' or an 'environmentalist' to understand the class; an open mind and a willingness to listen is all it takes!
— Gloria Moreira
This class was so useful in explaining the foundations of a truly sustainable approach to style, dress, and fashion. Redefining 'sustainability' for the consumer is such an important but neglected (or intentionally misrepresented) topic. Everyone has something to learn!
— Austin Tuan
Love the videos and animation. Excellent emphasis on the importance of the shift from a consumer to citizen mindset. The examples mentioned in the "Your Power" section are actionable and give a listener immediate action items, which is important.
— SP
I found it profound as it addresses fundamental and unquestioned assumptions about the industry. In addition to tackling the inconvenient / hard truths about the industry, it also reframes the individual's relationship to fashion (style); I think this mindset or approach to enduring change has been underrated.
— Alicia Teo
What I love about the course is that it impacts the root source of it all… That you can do a lot with what you already have rather than buy anything new. You are enough! And you don't need new clothes to be beautiful.
— Trish Hao

Fewer things, but more of what we need

FAQs

Why is this masterclass so inexpensive?

Reforme U is prioritizing impact over profit, which is why the masterclass is only $10. Eventually we hope to give it away for free... And eventually eventually we hope that Reforme U will no longer need to exist because the fashion system has become more sustainable, equitable, and just.

When does the masterclass start/finish, and how long does it take?

The masterclass is self-paced, and you may take as long as you need to complete it.

The videos for Module 1: Reframing Your Mindset are about 30 minutes in duration, total. However, there is additional content, including short surveys and reviews, that may take about 10 additional minutes to complete.

I'm relatively "new" to fashion, is this masterclass for me?

YES, this masterclass is especially for you!!

But this isn't your typical fashion courses... This isn't about designers or trends or the industry, it's all about YOU!

I'm a fashion expert, so why would I take this masterclass?

That's awesome!

Fashion has given us so much, but as an expert you know that we need to make some changes... So this masterclass offers a very different perspective on fashion, style, and sustainability. This is the first "demand-side" solution on the market, and a bold new strategy for personal and systemic transformation through short-form education.

How is this masterclass different to other fashion/sustainability courses?

Most sustainable fashion courses are made for fashion designers to learn how to design sustainable garments, but no one is teaching "consumers" about true sustainability in fashion... Instead, we're being "educated" by brands and the industry, which means the information we receive is biased, incomplete, and specifically designed to get us to buy more stuff (which isn't sustainable)!

Similarly, most personal styling courses push people to buy more stuff so that they feel like there is some sort of change or result... And although this course is similarly focused on change, Reforme U won't pressure you to buy more stuff in order to become your favorite version of yourself, because we don't need things to be "better" or fulfilled... We just need a different perspective.

LAND AND LABOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT


Reforme U is currently based in what is known as the United States and wants to acknowledge the unceded land that it currently occupies in order to help decolonize spaces, recognize indigenous stewardship of the land, air, and water we claim as our own, and to combat the invisibility and erasure of Indigenous peoples.

We also acknowledge that much of our country’s culture, economic growth, and development throughout history has been made possible by the violent, coercive, and exploitative forced labor of indigenous peoples, enslaved Africans, Chinese and Japanese immigrants, and migrant workers from the Philippines, Mexico, and Central and South America.
