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.
