Tell us about what you teach on this course
I teach social theory, which is one of the most truly thrilling things in the world of fashion.
What inspires and excites you in terms of your area of practice?
I’m inspired by classical social thinkers and long-term histories. I find it fascinating how many continuities there really are in a world that seems to be focused on seeing change only.
