"Will age inclusivity in fashion be an ongoing commitment or just another flash in the pan trend?" ?? ? It’s the hotly debated question we’ve been asked regularly since last fashion month saw an increase in age representation. And with New York Fashion Week kicking off tomorrow, marking the beginning of fashion month, at Ageism Is Never In Style? we'll be keenly waiting and watching… And here's our thoughts and commentary in advance. ? Because whilst our work, partners and clients span across different industries and sectors, we recognise that age representation in fashion matters. Why? Whatever your view of the industry, it has an?undeniable influence over cultural and socio-economic attitudes,?norms and behaviours, making it hugely powerful?and responsible for shaping both society and our own views around ageing. So it is vital for the industry to take responsibility and for brands to step up and actively play a role in this incredible movement in eradicating ageism and changing the narrative around ageing.? ? What do you think? Will we see age inclusivity continued or even an increase? Or will it be a return to only youth centric ideals? ? Whatever happens, you can trust Ageism Is Never In Style? remains committed to championing age diversity and representation in fashion and beyond. And we have an extremely exciting announcement coming next week as part of our ongoing commitment. So whether you’re a model or an aspiring one – this is one you won’t want to miss. #AgeismIsNeverInStyle #Ageism #AgeismInFashion #Ageing #AgeInclusion #AgeInclusive #AgeRepresentation #DEI #DiversityAndInclusion #AgeDiscrimination #ProAge #Midlife #GenX #BabyBoomers #Boomers #Longevity #ProAge #FashionIndustry #FashionMarketing #ThoughtLeadership #FashionCampaign #NewYorkFashionWeek #FashionWeek

The State of Fashion Report: A Sneak Peek Just for You I asked, and the BGIF community answered - without holding back! ??

I connected with the incredible Marisa Brickman and Elinor Honigstein, who are absolutely killing it in their industries, I felt deeply inspired by the insight they shared.

In the fashion industry, the conversation about true inclusivity is often shut down or diluted to fit a narrow social construct. As a Black American woman with dark skin, a wide nose, and natural hair, I've experienced firsthand how the industry's focus on Eurocentric beauty standards marginalizes diverse voices and talents. We cannot allow these conversations to be silenced. True inclusivity means more than token gestures... it means celebrating the unique gifts and perspectives of all creatives. It's about creating a space where everyone, regardless of their background, can share their artistry without being forced to conform to a world that often devalues their authenticity. If you're comfortable with the rat race of trying to fit into a world that resists inclusivity, that's your choice. But let's be honest about it. For those of us who seek genuine change, it's time to push back against these outdated norms. Share your thoughts and let's work together to create a fashion world that truly values and celebrates diversity. #TrueInclusivity #FashionDiversity #CelebrateAuthenticity #BreakTheBias #BlackWomenInFashion #DiverseVoices #InclusiveFashion #AuthenticRepresentation #FashionForAll #CreativesOfColor #EmbraceIndividuality

The friends you meet along the way...I met Eric Nicoll, creator of the Just Do You podcast over 20 years ago at a meeting planners conference. We met, became friends, became co-workers for a minute, lost touch, reconnected and all the while remained friends. I think this is a very important message to remember. Actually a couple of messages to remember: - meet as many people as you can and keep the good ones close - time and space between connecting cannot break a bond of friendship, appreciation and respect - find ways to work together even if you don't work together I'm grateful to have the chance to talk about the work being done and that needs to continue to be done in the DE&I space. We've all seen then image of "equality" vs "equity" and depending on situations one is more applicable than the other. However today I came upon an expanced image of the same concept. See below in comments. Wow. Think about it and see if the image drums up any emotions, one way or the other. Investigate those emotions and when fair and just, act on those feelings.

Reading the Sunday papers is a little luxury. A good chance to have a bit of a reflect on the week. This morning I saw this full page advert in the Observer. I must admit, I wasn't familiar with this 'luxury' retailer - dresses on average ￡4,000 - ￡6,000 a go are not my thing. What really struck me was the homogeneity of the images representing 'gentle luxury, a symbol of tailored beauty'. Not that I'm really sure what that statement means! But why are all the images of white women? It's encouraging to see organisations such as Recite Me helping businesses understand and improve their choices when it comes to communications. And it is a really important choice. Recite Me offer helpful guidance on their website: "It's about?being intentional in every decision to ensure your marketing efforts resonate with diverse audiences in meaningful and respectful ways. This requires a commitment to understanding the unique needs of different consumer backgrounds, identities, and experiences, including aspects like: Race. Ethnicity." Read more here https://bit.ly/3XCQWUq So I'm left wondering just why this collection of images isn't more diverse and inclusive?

As a Black American woman with dark skin, a wide nose, and natural hair, my journey through the fashion industry has been both challenging and enlightening. My unique perspective is shaped by navigating an industry that often glorifies Eurocentric beauty standards, leaving little room for true diversity and authenticity. I believe in advocating for real change in fashion... not just superficial inclusivity that fits into a social popularity contest, but genuine representation that celebrates all forms of beauty. Let's have a conversation about: - Moving beyond tokenism to true inclusivity - Respecting and honoring cultural heritage without appropriation - Embracing diverse aesthetics and stories in the fashion narrative It's time for the fashion world to reflect the rich tapestry of global beauty. How do you think we can push for more authentic representation and real change in the industry?

??? Beauty knows no bounds. Neither should we. ??? Here I share my latest art direction and visualization for Sophora Beauty. Challenging the new normal for American trans rights in the USA today. In a world where self-expression reigns supreme, beauty isn’t about fitting into a box—it’s about breaking out of one. That was my mindset when crafting this ad design for Sephora, leaning into bold drag aesthetics and unapologetic self-expression, reflecting the brand’s stance on inclusivity. From gender-fluid glam to fearless artistry, this concept embraces the idea that makeup is for everyone—because beauty has no binary. Inspired by Sephora’s mission, I wanted to highlight not just color and contour, but culture and conversation. ??????? ??? Concept: A fearless celebration of identity ?? Visual Direction: High-impact, drag-inspired looks that command attention ?? Message: Beauty isn’t defined. It’s discovered. As the landscape shifts, brands aligning with authenticity and representation don’t just create campaigns—they create movements. And that’s branding done right. ?? Would love to hear your thoughts—is the beauty industry leading the charge, or do we still have work to do? ?? #Advertising #Branding #Sephora #BeautyForAll #Inclusivity #MakeupHasNoGender #DragArtistry #Marketing #CreativeDirection #FearlessBeauty

It's 11th June, and the silence is deafening. Last year, on 1st June, Nike released a sneaker by non-binary designer and artist Zoe Schlacter, celebrating diversity and queerness. Once July came around, absolute silence... And not one post or collection dropped this year. I thought there was no sport without Pride, Nike?! Their BeTrue commitment, ongoing since 2012, has lost meaning and significance. The website hasn't even been updated with a new post... All are still dated 2023. People wonder why trust in brands is so low among the queer community. Brands often make a big song and dance about how progressive and inclusive they are—but the moment there's pushback (often from a vocal minority), they quickly retreat and apologise. If they were having a moment to "reflect" or to "consider how to make a meaningful action" then say that. Include others in the conversation. Don't keep it all internal and open up a void. Don't remain silent. Maybe take some of your own advice and just do it. When brands fail to back their words with consistent action, it’s no surprise they’re called out. It's just so brazen and frustrating! Trust isn't built on quick gestures—it requires a proper commitment, *especially* in the face of adversity.
