Panel Discussion: Mapping Identity and Diaspora - Paris S/S 22 Menswear

Chaired by Jess Gianelli, the Central Saint Martins Fashion Communication graduates debate fashion's tumultuous relationship with representation, focusing on how designers in Paris are tackling the themes of identity and diaspora. Throughout the conversation, the panellists muse over the differences between cultural appropriation and appreciation while reflecting on whether the threat of cancel culture in today's society is still relevant when considering the push for brands to do better and diversify their teams, not just their models.
