Description

Last month, Chanel and Gucci both announced new Heads of Diversity & Inclusion. This comes at a time where fashion brands have repeatedly made headlines over accusations of racism throughout the year. Has hiring a Head of Diversity & Inclusion just become the latest fad, or can these efforts actually bring about change? This week, we discuss these PR scandals along with their impact on brand image and customer reception with special guest and fashion-media expert Brooke Sharee.
