The top jobs in the British fashion industry are still overwhelmingly held by white men, according to a new report. While that might feel like old news, the business case for making workforces better reflect society is perhaps less regularly made.
The inaugural Fashion Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) report, released today, finds that only 9% of executive and 11% of so-called power roles, which include chief executive, chief financial officer, chair and creative director positions, are held by people of colour. 39% of executive teams and 24% of power posts are occupied by women.
