INTRODUCING: THE OUTSIDERS PERSPECTIVE

In 2022, fashion campaigns and runway shows are noticeably more diverse. But people of colour and those from marginalised groups represent just 5 per cent of workers behind the scenes. So it’s good news that Jamie Gill, chair of the British Fashion Council’s diversity committee, is launching The Outsiders Perspective, a talent incubator addressing the lack of diversity in fashion’s workforce. ‘There is enough evidence that supports the business case for diverse talent, but brands are struggling to find the team,’ says Gill, who hails from a British-Indian background. The initiative will ensure people of colour are equipped to join the operational side of any fashion brand. A new career might just be a click away. (theoutsidersperspective.org)
