Moving Fashion Forward Together: SHOWstudio Live Panel Discussion

Antoine Gregory is joined by Anifa Mvuemba, Nandi Howard and Shelby Ivey Christie to discuss fashion's role within activism, and racism in the industry. Sharing their personal experiences, the panellists discuss the cost of being Black in fashion. They explore what it means to fight against a white system, working twice as hard to be seen, and the lack of documentation of Blackness in fashion and art history. The panel also discuss the changes they want to see, from stockists investing long-term in black designers, to representation for black designers and creatives in retail spaces and publications. Established in November 2000, SHOWstudio is an award-winning fashion website, founded and directed by Nick Knight, that has defined the manner in which fashion is presented via the Internet. A pioneer of fashion film and live fashion broadcasting, SHOWstudio is now recognised as the leading force behind these mediums, offering a unique platform to nurture and encourage fashion to engage with moving image in the digital age. In its documentation of fashion and the arts, SHOWstudio has collaborated with pop culture icons and creatives including Tracey Emin, Lady Gaga, John Galliano, Kate Moss, Alexander McQueen, Charles Jeffrey, Gareth Pugh and many more.
