EP. 13 Fashion Diversity: Why Representation Matters with Ronke Fashola
Manage episode 279645130 series 2837246
Fashion is racist and fatphobic, and these tropes are bleeding into the world of 'ethical' fashion too. In this episode, we chat with Ronke Fashola, founder of Love Ur Look Clothing, about her experiences of racism in the industry, how brands can do more than performative allyship, and why moving beyond fashion diversity towards actual representation is essential.
