Inspired by fashion as an educator, for my final major project, I created Phase:U; a digital educational subscription service focused on teaching young people about sexual health and relationships in a relaxed and comfortable way through fashion representations of topics. With the COVID-19 pandemic, decreases in wide social experiences has lead to family bonds strengthening due to time spent together, thus ensuring a trusted relationship between adult and child. Using this bond, Phase:U presents a comfortable and open environment for the parent/guardian to teach the child about a new topic each month using digital resources sent to them, supported by their own experiences. I wanted to create a way of striking out taboos around sexual health and relationships while ensuring that young people receive age-appropriate lessons about topics they will likely experience without feeling nervous or scared.
