It is clear that for the fashion industry to grow in a sustainable and responsible way that benefits all people, the representation of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) voices and ideas must be made a priority across all facets of the industry.
In the last few weeks, we have been listening to our student, graduate and university community to hear how you’d like us to better support and champion BAME emerging fashion talent. It is important that we acknowledge, learn from our past, recognise and do more to celebrate incredible young BAME talents, showcasing the future of the fashion industry and the diverse talent that our member universities have to offer!
Students are calling for our support NOW and we want to give that to them. Moving forward, this is our ongoing, unwavering commitment.
We are calling upon our BAME undergraduates, the Class of 2020 final year students and alumni of Graduate Fashion Week to share your work with us so that the GFF can highlight young leading BAME Creators who will inspire the next generation!
