ABOUT ME

MISSION STATEMENT

In the past year a cataclysm has occurred- people are now extremely conscious of the importance of representation and inclusivity. Yes, it really does matter! It's no longer acceptable for artists and creators to reflect a tiny segment of our society- the small minority which conforms to traditional ideals of 'beauty'. The fashion world is no exception, and to this day we've seen a push towards visibility in many areas of this global industry. To find out more about myself and my perspective on these issues, I've written a letter to you- the reader.

EPISODE 40: What 'diversity' in fashion really means with fashion journalist and activist Lottie Jackson

“Diversity doesn’t begin and end with who we see in front of the camera. We need to have more diverse voices leading from behind the camera. For instance, it would be great to have even more minority voices in positions of creative authority, making business decisions or shaping the way fashion is communicated to the world through the media. Positive change will happen organically if there’s more representation at all tiers of the fashion industry.”
