There’s something the Fashion industry could learn  from the Film industry. Something the film (and television) industry has chosen to do for as long as the industry has existed. (to be fair, I’m guessing on that last point, but I'm sure we can agree it's been a long time.) Credits. Some of my friends work in the film and television industry,  and whenever we’ve gone to the cinema (or movie theatre),  at the end of the film,  when most people begin to leave,  my friends often want to watch the credits roll. It’s not just an ‘industry’ thing,  I like to too. I like to see their name in ‘lights’ - if only for a brief moment. Likewise when one of their shows is on tv at home. The long list is there, partly out of curiosity,  but I think it’s also out of respect,  and a sense of pride. “All these people believed in the show,  and we trusted in them to make it.” Having your name attached to something  brings a sense of responsibility, which works both ways. In the end credits to one of the Star Wars films, over a 1000 people are credited for working on various aspects of the film. You could even look their names up and get in contact with them to ask them questions about their experience.  (Transparency?) Maybe fashion brands could choose to do the same, The number of people credited isn’t the issue, the choice to do so is. I created my own,  and have it towards the end of one of my websites.  https://anthonystoker.com/ Credit;  I started writing this post in April, while journaling, in response to an article/post about the dark side of fashion’s production and consumption. A more recent post by Jonathan Mitchell on a linked theme reminded me to revisit my thoughts. https://lnkd.in/e9cbgBen #leadership #marketing #creativity #design

Ever considered launching a business to make a real difference in the world? Take Coco Chanel, a visionary entrepreneur who revolutionised the fashion industry with her iconic brand. Beyond creating timeless designs, Chanel challenged societal norms and empowered women through fashion. Similarly, Spanx, founded by Sara Blakely, disrupted the fashion and beauty landscape by empowering women of all shapes and sizes. And I wouldn't be myself if I didn't mention music. Just take a look at this crowd of 130k people (!) during last year's Download Festival. Those bands' impact on their fans goes without saying! But the greatest news is that we don't need to be Coco, Sara, or Amy Lee (from Evanescence) to make a difference in the world. We can use our platforms and creativity to uplift, empower, motivate, inspire and support. Whether it's promoting diversity, sustainability, or living on our terms by using business as a vehicle towards our dreams, you and I can be a catalyst for positive social transformation. BTW: Tomorrow, Bournemouth Ladies Who Latte gather for our monthly networking meeting. I started this group last summer because I believe in the power of connecting people. Plus I save the world in my own way - creatively - one design at a time How about you? #business #marketing #MakeADifference

Interesting to see how the impact of a well-built image in a celebrity can give these results.

the importance of studying. 📚 True power comes from inside. 👸 The more you study, the more you read, the more you learn different parts of the brain light up, and what was in the dark is now illuminated by beauty, you begin to see the truth. Although I must clarify, not everything is beauty, this’s where creativity comes to the big picture, our job is to transform darkness into light. 💡 #GisselleGomez #linkedln #fashion #love #visualstorytelling #growth #branding #fashionbranding #creative

The last few weeks have been intense. I’ve been deeply immersed in writing a video script, and yesterday, we recorded it. This project has the potential to shake the very foundations of the fashion industry and Hollywood. Together with Nathalie Augustina—a former top model from the 80s and 90s—and a dedicated team, we’ve uncovered truths that the world needs to hear. As someone who worked as a fashion model myself, I’ve seen firsthand the dark side of these industries. Beneath the glitz and glamour lies a dangerous world, rife with scandal, exploitation, and abuse. Our upcoming video will expose shocking truths about some of the most famous brands and individuals in the world. It’s time to uncover how deeply intertwined the fashion industry and Hollywood are—not just in creating trends, but in perpetuating a system where power, money, and exploitation go hand in hand. We’re not afraid to address uncomfortable truths. From the exploitation of models to the silencing of those who dare to speak out, this video will shed light on what really happens behind closed doors. I’ve experienced this darkness myself—booked for jobs that weren’t what they seemed, drugged, and placed in dangerous situations. While I was lucky to escape relatively unscathed, many others haven’t been. On January 20th, we’ll release this video. It will make people angry. It will challenge perceptions. But the truth must be told. The MeToo movement was just the beginning. There is so much more that needs to be revealed about the industries we idolize. It’s time to hold those in power accountable. Stay tuned.

It’s 2025, and you’re stepping into a year full of exciting opportunities. ✨ But here’s a little secret: your goals aren’t just about what you do—they’re about how you show up. Ever heard the phrase, “Dress for the job you want, not the one you have”? Well, let’s take it a step further: Dress for the life you want. When you choose outfits with intention—whether it’s adding a power colour to your wardrobe or swapping loungewear for something fabulous—you’re subconsciously telling yourself, “I’m ready for success.” Style isn’t just about how others see you; it’s about how you see yourself. Start dressing like the 2025 version of YOU who’s already achieved her dreams. 👗✨ What’s one thing you’ll start wearing more of this year to step into your power? Tell me below!
