In this episode, I’ll be speaking to Jane Shepherdson, a retail Industry expert, the Chair of My Wardrobe HQ, Director of the London Fashion Fund and the ex-CEO of Whistles and Topshop.

Jane has had an extraordinary career and continues to leave a mark in the fashion industry. Today, we talk about how fashion is transforming. We will get to hear a bit about her journey and get to know how we can stay true to ourselves and make a positive impact with the brands.

(1:00:51) Do what really fires you up!
