   I am an independent curator, writer and educator. In 2020 I founded Denier, a bi-monthly newsletter, that explores fashion\'s relationship to the three pillars of corporate sustainability: people, the planet and profit. Every two weeks I speak with an expert, or group of experts, about their work in this space.Other recent curatorial projects have included Posturing and English as a Second Language. The former defined a new movement in contemporary fashion photography, manifesting in an exhibition, Coco Capitán film commission and book engaging with some of the most important people in the fashion industry today, this project was in partnership with The Outnet. For the later—English as a Second Language at Somerset House—I commissioned London-based Asian-born fashion photographers Hanna Moon and Joyce Ng to respond to Britishness and ideas of beauty—questioning multiculturalism in todays society. In addition to my curatorial work I hold faculty positions at the School of Visual Arts and Fashion Institute of Technology and write for publications such as Vogue, The Face, AnOther, 10 Magazine, System Magazine, Aperture and Foam Magazine.
