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.

Authentic Leadership, Corvinus University Budapest

June 2026

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.

Personal Leadership

March 2026

Fondazione Prada's Permanent Collection

Fashion capital and cultural legitimacy

Collecting and Collections Management

Whitewashed

What Tel Aviv's UNESCO status preserves, and what it erases

The White City of Tel Aviv, World Heritage Site since 2003. A reading of what a Bauhaus inscription protects, and which histories fall outside its frame.

Heritage

January 2026

The Translation Challenge

Leadership, communication and renewal at the Dutch National Ballet

As Ernst Meisner succeeds Ted Brandsen in 2026, the company's central challenge is not artistic quality but translation: aligning artistic vision, governance, dancers and audiences within one shared direction. With Isabel Chiang, Nathalie Des Tombe, Marisa Machacek and Sue Siddall.

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.
