Listen "Cut To Size - Accessible Adaptive Fashion"
Episode Synopsis
People join an industry, and many adapt to its culture. Occasionally, someone challenges the culture, disrupts it and brings about a new way of thinking. Our guest, Victoria Jenkins, has done just that, and done it in the harsh, fickle world of fashion.Victoria spent 16 years in the fashion industry, acquiring extensive knowledge of garment construction. Among others, she has worked with Victoria Beckham, Sweaty Betty, and Jack Wills. After disability affected her, she realised there was a need for adaptive fashion and a potential gap in the market.We ask Victoria how she started her brand, Unhidden Clothing and what were the significant barriers. We challenge her on the business case, which for so long was seen as a barrier for so long. She tells us about her favourite solo runway shows and what’s next. Smart, articulate, driven as well as fallible as we all are, Victoria makes a compelling guest..LinksUnhidden websiteVictoria’s LinkedInVictoria’s websiteThe Lilac ReviewThe Little Book of AbleismSmile by Mallavora
