I am an award-winning business journalist specializing in fashion and technology. Alongside Forbes, I contribute to titles including Wired, The Daily Telegraph, The Business of Fashion, Fashionista and more from my home base of London. Much of my work can also be seen on my own tech-focused news site, Fashion & Mash. I have appeared on CNN, NPR and The Today Show on NBC, and been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Guardian, GQ, Buzzfeed, and Advertising Age, among others. I am also a regular speaker at conferences around the world, including SXSW, CES, and Cannes Lions, as well as an advisor on digital strategy and innovation to leading retail and luxury brands, and a mentor to start-ups on the likes of John Lewis’ JLAB accelerator programme. I was previously based in New York as a senior editor for leading online fashion trade publication and trend forecaster WGSN, where I oversaw global coverage of the industry from a communications, branding and technology standpoint.
