Expo Dubai 2020

Sad not to be speaking in person, but still pleased to have to opportunity to conribute to this event

Douglas Stuart and Carruthers

I am incredibly proud to know Douglas, whose triumph in the world of books has been amazing. A very talented Knitwear Design graduate of Heriot-Watt, his career in the fierce world of Textiles and Fashion has also been incredible. And now, his career twist into the world of novels has astounded all. A really lovely human, with an equally lovely Husband. So I am not surprised. Below is a forthcoming article about an interview we did, which was great fun.

The Fashion Council Germany and The Prince's foundation, Change Makers Conference, Nov. 20

A really important event, an opportunity for young people to virtually meet and discuss the way forward with professionals. My presentation offered options, opportunities, and potential solutions, throughout the supply chain Let’s have more of these discussions. Knowledge is POWER.
