Talent Is Not the Problem
London Fashion Week, September 2026: the British Fashion Council's programme and support for independent designers
London ranks below Paris, Milan and New York on media value, with a smaller professional programme and no current economic-impact study. Read through Bourdieu, the weakness is infrastructure, not creativity: the difficulty of converting creative capital into business income.

The Side Seat
Leadership identity, inclusion, and what working behind the scenes has excused me from
A leadership self-study built on a flow-simulation log: diplomacy in the 99th percentile, information gathering in the 10th. On the habit of taking the seat beside the decision rather than at it, and what that has cost.

To Define is to Limit
The leadership challenge of self-authorship in conditions of multiplicity
Opens in a Tel Aviv café with the question that follows her everywhere: so what do you do in London? An essay on refusing the one-line answer, and on leading from several identities at once.

Fondazione Prada's Permanent Collection

Whitewashed

Rogers v. Koons and the Art–Fashion Collaboration
Transformative use after the case that redrew the line
How a 1992 copyright ruling reshaped fashion-art collaborations. Koons's Masters collection for Louis Vuitton, Murakami's partnership with Vuitton and Richard Prince's cautious appropriations show why explicit IP frameworks became the price of working together.
