She has held senior roles at Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and Gucci, and later served as creative director at Pringle of Scotland, Chloé and Givenchy. She is widely recognised for her work across luxury ready-to-wear and couture, and continues to shape contemporary fashion at Uniqlo. Frazer Worboys is the director, editor and producer of Foundations. He is a documentary filmmaker focused on contemporary fashion, exploring the realities of working within the modern industry.
