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.

Positive change will happen organically if there’s more representation at all tiers of the fashion industry.”
