Fast fashion creates a throw away culture and mindset that is not only detrimental to humanity, but all life on earth…Yesterday morning I was live on @bbc5live with @seanfarrington for their episode, ‘Shein or She-out?’

Are the UK's creative industries still internationally competitive? What is the state of UK soft power? Today marks the launch of my major commission with @UAL which answers those questions and provides policies to turn things around, before it is too late. (1/5)

The UK risks "self-inflicted economic and diplomatic damage" if it does not take action to strengthen its creative industries, a new report has warned (@UAL) 👇 thestage.co.uk/news/news/uk-…

Today we’re publishing a new report by @elizaeaston highlighting the critical role of the UK's Creative Industries as an economic powerhouse.
However, the report also identifies challenges that threaten the UK's global leadership in this sector.
