OUR UNPRECEDENTED TIMES HAVE FAST-FORWARDED CHANGES IN HOW WE WORK, SHOP, SOCIALISE AND EVEN EXERCISE ONLINE. Information spreads at an increasingly fast pace and everything is global. The Black Lives Matter movement continues to raise issues around inclusiveness and diversity, challenging the fashion industry to significantly step up our work towards a world where everyone is treated equally, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality and age. Cultural journalist and TV-host Ika Johannesson will moderate a Deep Dive Discussion with panelists Hermine Coyet Ohlén, former Editor in Chief at Elle, Board professional and advisor, Angelo da Silveira, Founder at Diemonde, Suzan Hourieh Lindberg, CEO at The Social Few and Fernando Torres, Stylist and Art Director.
