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?
