Tonight, 23 May 2017, Lou Stoppard will chair a debate entitled, 'Brexit: The Impact on the Fashion Industry', from SHOWstudio 17:00 BST. Concerned for the fashion industry – not only in the UK, but on a global scale - SHOWstudio questions the vote for the United Kingdom to leave the political and economic union of 28 member states, as well as providing a space for discussion about the future. With panelists including cultural advisor Munira Mirza, designer Phoebe English, CEO of UK Fashion and Textile Association Adam Mansell, stylist Tamara Cincik and SHOWstudio Director Nick Knight, this debate will provide close examination into the effect of the 2016 European Union Referendum and the chance for this selection of industry experts and political minds to voice their thoughts and opinions on the Brexit result. However, in light of last night's terrorist attack in Manchester and the subsequent halt on General Election campaigning, this panel discussion will no longer be streamed live. It will be available to watch in the near future. Our thoughts go out to the people of Manchester and all those affected. |
