Description
Ever felt like building a brand is an impossible task? You're not alone! The Bridge Co. FYI has joined forces with The Hoxton, Holborn to celebrate and explore the power of people in the fashion and creative industries, from the way we get dressed, to the way we use social media and the work that we do. Join us on 28th March for this 3-part mini talk series to find out how to build your own community, how community mindsets are changing the face of fashion and the online and IRL spaces that are just for you.

Stevie Mackenzie-Smith - Layers Podcast
Stevie Mackenzie-Smith and Ana Kinsella co-founded Layers podcast - stories about style, women and how we get dressed. Having built an online following as journalists first before started the podcast, Layers has quickly become a must-listen.
Sara Arnold - HIGHER Studio
Having studied Fashion Design with Marketing at CSM, Sara emerged unable to justify creating clothes. With the aim of finding a solution for fashion industry creatives also facing the dilemma of creating sustainably, Sara enrolled on an Msc in Innovation Entrepreneurship and Management at Imperial Business School, graduating with a final project on the circular economy.
