Fashion Re-imagined: how might we create a more equitable industry?

Fashion Re-imagined: Laurie Taylor considers arguments in favour of a more equitable industry. Also, how clothing inventions allowed women access to sports & the public world.

FASHION RE-IMAGINED:  Laurie Taylor talks to Angela McRobbie, Emeritus Professor at Goldsmiths, University of London about the working lives of independent designers in London, Berlin and Milan, at a time when fashion is under the spotlight due to concerns about the environment and exploitation in the industry.  How might we create a more equitable and inclusive fashion future?  Also, Kat Jungnickel, Reader in Sociology at Goldsmiths, uncovers the lesser-known clothing inventions which enabled women to access the male preserve of sports, move in new ways and expand female mobility and freedom.

Producer: Jayne Egerton
