*While fact checking this episode, we came across a very interesting article from the BBC discussing ‘enough clothes for next six generations’ that took us by surprise. After doing deeper research, we were unable to find the original source of this fact, although it's mentioned multiple times by a range of media outlets. SO, even we mix things up sometimes, and this is a great moment to show how facts change with time and that proper fact-checking is so important. Moving forward, we won't be using this information.
Grab a cuppa and join Rosie and Izzy as they discuss diversity in the fashion industry.
With US brands rolling back their diversity and inclusion policies it felt incredibly important to touch on this topic. From the first times the girls saw themselves in the media as teens, Rosie’s modeling experience and the reality of climate-induced mass migration they discuss it all!
