LONDON, United Kingdom — Lily Cole was once on the side of every bus, fronting the industry's biggest fashion campaigns. But the more time Cole spent in the industry, the more she became aware of widespread problems and structural inequalities that prop up its glamorous facade. She cut back on modelling jobs and instead prioritised working on improving the fashion system from within.
In the latest episode of the BoF Podcast, Lily Cole speaks with BoF Founder and Editor-in-Chief Imran Amed about the lessons she learned while writing her new book Who Cares Wins: Reasons For Optimism in Our Changing World, published by Rizzoli and Penguin, a call to action that emphasises the importance of optimism and collaboration in times of uncertainty.
