BoF Op-Ed | Inclusivity Demands More Than a Show

"In the current culture of accountability, where activism is shaping the zeitgeist, the fashion industry has staged an extraordinary consumer-facing performance, checking the boxes on race, body, gender and other forms of inclusivity. In an industry that’s hardwired to embrace the new only to quickly move on to the next trend months later, is fashion’s current interest in inclusivity simply a fad?" - writes Jason in the introduction of his Business of Fashion op-ed for their current print and digital issue, the theme: Inclusivity.

In this episode we'll be breaking down the topics Jason covers here, as well as discussing the grievances made by Pyer Moss designer, Kerby Jean-Raymond in his own op-ed about BoF's founder and EIC, Imran Ahmed's handling of the making of this Inclusive issue and it's subsequent celebratory gala event.
