Developing Personal Style as a Liberative Practice Workshop

Build a personal style rooted in self-concept, emotional truth, and political liberation—without buying into the fashion industry’s exploitative narratives.

Personal style, including the clothes we choose and how we present ourselves, is one of the most important sites of liberation, both personally and collectively.

In this electrifying workshop Dr. Kate Tomas unpack fashion’s entanglement with capitalism and celebrity culture, then turn it on its head.

Through vivid storytelling, critical insight, and decades of lived expertise, you will learn how style becomes a spell: a tool to feel powerful, joyful, protected, or even intimidating. Expect practical guidance, irreverent hacks, and radical inspiration for dressing like your truest, freest self.

This isn’t fashion—it’s liberation through adornment.

In this workshop you will learn:

  • How to dress for visibility on your own terms

  • To use accessories like armour, amulets, and declarations

  • The power of embracing “too much” as a strategy of joy and resistance

  • How to feel like yourself even when no one else sees you

  • Practices for building outfits not from trends, but from intention and energies

  • Strategies for “shopping” your own closet to create looks that truly feel like you

  • My favourite places to shop for unique, stylish pieces at truly affordable prices

Style isn’t about fitting in. It’s about finally feeling like yourself.
