the fashion feed - episode 36 - "humanity is always on brand" with rhea cartwright
It took me circa 4 seconds to know who I wanted to discuss the topic of social injustice with on the podcast - Rhea Cartwright
Rhea & I met last year for a 1-1 session making a plan on how she was going to leave her 9-5 … fast forward a year and she’s writing for publications such as Refinery29 & Dazed - how inspiring!
Rhea was so kind to make herself available at short notice to discuss the topic in detail; she shares her views on how the fashion industry has reacted to the death of George Floyd and the topic of racism which has been an issue in the industry for years.
In this episode we discuss :
How Rhea called out online publications to address the current situation
Which brands have done well and who’s missed the mark
Why it’s no longer acceptable for brands to remain neutral at times like this
The difference between tokenism and authentic action
Advice for brands going forward on how they can contribute to change
