Practice
My practice brings together more than three decades of experience in education and cultural leadership with a belief in creativity as a powerful force for meaningful change.
I am a regular public speaker and podcast guest, and the author of Why Fashion Matters, published by Thames & Hudson and available worldwide.
Why Fashion Matters.
To the economy, to society and to each of us personally.
This book, published by Thames & Hudson sets out to provoke thoughts about fashion and its many facets; demanding that we question our preconceptions and reflect on our choices as consumers.
Through 101 entries, it aims to show how fashion deserves to be taken seriously, warts and all, and to be celebrated for its beauty, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.
