Many a time, white is accused of being plain,
professed to be empty, 
and declared boring, 
yet persons who pronounce it so are eluded by the true meaning, 
beauty and 
power 
it yields. 


How can something so abstract be described as having any of the aforementioned qualities? 


In essence, 
white is a blank canvas 
begging to be drawn upon,
a notebook awaiting to be written in. 


It can be transformed, 
fashioned 
and
moulded,
much like children learning of the world 
and not unlike the minds that fill the halls of CSM 
full of unrealised ideas, 
ambitious dreams
and
aspirations. 

It symbolises 
new beginnings, 
marks a new cycle, 
and it is only suitable, 
almost poetic, 
that the white show is a debut
 for designers and creatives 
that the university produces.



In unison, such collaboration
 will set the tone not only for the 
individual careers of each 
person involved but the 
future of fashion as a whole.


It is a platform, 
an opportunity to define 
and showcase what it is 
that we bring to the table, 
sustainability or destruction, 
past or future, 
life or death?


White as a colour does not exist; it is simply and solely what we make of it.
