Who We Are.
Fashion Roundtable is dedicated to reimagining a responsible, inclusive and sustainable industry. We are the leading think tank and change agency: bold claims which we successfully live up to year on year with a massive media reach, hosting thought-provoking events, innovative research, fact filled and fun as well as our Front Row to Front Bench podcast which uniquely takes a deep dive into the lives of leading creatives and politicians, with a dedicated team led by Tamara Cincik.
Our Substack platform Fashion Roundtable: The Informer draws on the expertise of our team and wide network of experts across fashion, policy and cultural thought leadership. It’s a place to explore culture, craft, fashion, heritage, policy, thought leadership and shift the dial towards a more regenerative future, one in harmony, with creativity and wellbeing as its core.
What does Fashion Roundtable do?
Fashion Roundtable delivers creative leadership to solve the world’s pressing social, environmental and economic problems, with a focus on creative industry issues, heritage crafts, our industrial legacies, and innovation-led future, creating policy roadmaps to address these with social purpose-driven solutions.
We face an exciting but challenging opportunity to rethink, reimagine and rebuild business models, based entirely on sustainable frameworks, which place the planet and people first. Now is the time for businesses, industries, investors and nations to design and implement new systems that decarbonise, transition to net zero, protect nature, nurture creative talent, and support collective progress.
Change Agency: what our thought leadership has achieved.
As the secretariat for the Ethics and Sustainability in Fashion All-Party Parliamentary Group (the only APPG) focused on the fashion industry and it’s transition towards social justice and sustainable ambitions. Fashion Roundtable is uniquely placed at the nexus of sector expertise and political insights, allowing us a pivotal and uniquely powerful role at the intersection between industry, creativity and policy.
From the sector’s first diversity and inclusion report, through to a radical rethink of economic strategy with our work on the Creative Wellbeing Economy, and policy objectives which incentivise sustainable businesses, Fashion Roundtable is at the forefront, creating analysis and solutions which offer a new vision, where planetary boundaries and regenerative practices are intrinsic to an innovative and inclusive creative economy. Many of our policy recommendations are now changing legislation.
Our work on the Great British Wool Revival since 2024 has seen a sharp increase in the price or British wool, a marked uptick the perception of brands using British wool, and a shift in the dial toward using natural fibres, localised value chains and embracing a more regenerative approach - stunning clothes you can wear with good conscience and support everyone from farmer to spinner along the way. Testimony to a good news story and a strong validation of our success in changing things for the better.
How we do it.
We build active partnerships with industry experts, business leaders and partners, to improve and support the fashion industry, ensuring the voices of the workers and businesses are heard by developing independent evidence-based data insights, research, and reports.
Fashion Roundtable is a not-for-profit, non-partisan, proudly independent voice.
