004 - Struggling with Diversity in Fashion

StruggleCircle

This episode we dive deep into the challenges the fashion industry is currently facing with diversity, inclusion and authentic representation. Diversity in fashion means many things and involves many intersectional, and often times complicated layers. Whether it is racial diversity, or religious, gender, or body diversity, talking about inclusivity in fashion is a lot. But it needs to be done if we are to move forward. This episode we have 3 amazing guests, Ubah Guled, Vanessa Smikle and Nabra Badr, join us to talk about racial diversity in fashion media, the challenges of being a make-up loving person of colour, and how the industry can do better at representing all people, authentically. Although this episode focuses on racial diversity in fashion, this is by no means an exhaustive discussion and we hope to cover other facets of diversity on this show in the future. The Book Issue 03 is now available via Instagram (@stylecircle) and the Ryerson Campus Bookstore.
