Women In Fashion - WIF Radio At Foundation FM
DISCUSSING THE FUTURE OF CREATIVE INDUSTRIES TECH, AR VR LANDSCAPES, HOW WE CONSIDER 360 SUSTAINABILITY AND WHAT WE DO AT CommuneEAST.
In a roll up to international women's day and continuing our support of fellow females and womxn in the industry, here is a link to the wonderful time spent discussing the future of fashion, the digital flex in the industry and how tech and sustainability should get deeper into bed. I had an inspiring and a knowledge rich day with these phenomenal women, so here's a little introduction to what they are doing and why they are so bloody great.
Created by Daisy Walker in 2015 as an antidote to an often exclusive and unrepresentative industry; along with Radio Manager Bella Gladman and Social Media Coordinator Georgia Moot.
Women in Fashion is a feminist non-profit organisation providing women (& men) in the fashion industry with a platform to discuss issues in order to provoke change.
Tackling issues such as diversity, representation of gender, age discrimination, sexism etc, the aim is to create a tangible offline space that allows the layers of these issues to be explored and shared with the goal of changing the negative aspects of an industry we all love.
Foundation FM - With an uprising in the industry of communities trying to find safe spaces to play, create and grow, foundation.fm’s mission is to showcase the hottest emerging talent in the underground music scene led by a diverse group of women, LGTBQI+ person’s and talented creatives who support our values – with women at the forefront.
