RARE Revolution Magazine’s Post

Can't WAIT to speak at British Beauty Council's #BritishBeautyWeek again this year 🫡 There has been a lot of coverage post-COVID of how much the beauty industry (specifically treatments and professional spaces) contributes to the economy BUT I also want to talk about how much the salon can be a safe space, what it represents as a cultural anchor for communities and the specific emergent cues we are seeing that make these spaces full of joy and freedom to experiment with our identity. We'll be exploring: ✨ How beauty salons shape and explore personal identity. ✨ Shifting representations of the beauty salon in popular culture. ✨ The emergent cultural meaning of the beauty salon and what this signals for brands. ✨ Key takeaways and watch-outs for brands in the beauty space.

🌟 Shining a Light on Transparency in the Beauty Industry 🌟 The beauty industry has the power to transform lives by inspiring confidence and self-expression. However, it's not all about the allure. There is a pressing need for greater transparency in the industry, and I am committed to addressing it head-on. Transparency is essential, especially in an industry dominated by major players who shape market trends and consumer behavior. Holding brands of all sizes accountable for their actions and practices is crucial. But transparency isn't just about setting higher standards for the industry giants. It's also about amplifying the voices of innovative newcomers who push the boundaries of what's possible. Platforms like MissPalettable are shining a spotlight on these trailblazers, showcasing their commitment to ethical integrity and inspiring positive change. However, navigating the beauty industry landscape isn't without its challenges. The scale and influence of established players can often feel daunting. But by standing firm in our values and fostering genuine connections with our audience, we can overcome these challenges and drive meaningful progress. Here's to a future where transparency isn't just a buzzword, but a guiding principle underlying every decision and action within the beauty industry. Together, let's pave the way for a more open, accountable, and inclusive future where authenticity reigns supreme and beauty knows no bounds. #Transparency #BeautyIndustry #EthicalBeauty #Innovation #Empowerment #LinkedInPost

CALL TO ACTION: what is one immediate action you can take to support diversity and inclusion in your life? Last night I attended the inaugural session of SABAIRAH TALKS hosted warmly by the wonderful Creative Director and designer Deborah Latouche alongside a talented panel who have been change makers in improving diversity and inclusion. The panel: Sharon D. Lloyd - Founding member of Fashion and the Arts Creating Equity (FACE) , British Beauty Council DEI, and Senior Academic Arooj Aftab Fashion Creative and Cultural Consultant Karen Cummings-Palmer - Leading Health and Beauty Expert / Founder of 79luxe Skincare Nuria Ferreira - Assistant to Nick Irwin and Founder of Special Touch Nuria Aicha McKenzie Founder of AMCK Management Aysia Duranni-Mann - Founder of Auntie Agency and The Fashion Industry Forum Alongside Global Ambassador or Schwarzkopf and Hunger Mag Hair Editor Nick Irwin and Award Winning Fashion Stylist and Creative Director Kim Howells As a creative, listening, acknowledging and sharing these powerful voices is integral to supporting change and developing a fashion industry that is inclusive, not only on the surface but deeply embedded. We all have a responsibility to ensure this happens. The talk forced me to actively reflect on my automatic priviledge and think deeply about how much I’m actually doing to support diversity and inclusion. I deliver workshops to inspire diverse audiences, but how much of my artwork reflects diversity? I still have a lot to learn and a lot to improve on. My immediate actions are: 1. To actively highlight and question when I see a lack of diversity in the creative spaces I encounter. 2. To improve representation in my artwork, practising all aspects of diversity and illustrate confidently. What will yours be? #calltoaction #diversityandinclusion

It’s been an exciting last few months with my team and I busy working on something we are very passionate about and something I can finally share with you.....the new look and direction of 'The Trend Academy' - the UK’s first platform to focus solely on fashion x wellness 🌟 I have wanted for a long time to build a space which not only supports the people working in the fashion industry to stay well and flourish (after I sadly crashed and burned as a designer in my early 30's) but which also shines a light on the brands and individuals leading positive change in our industry, especially in the sustainability and wellness space. So please welcome the new TA website : https://lnkd.in/eH4JmTa6 We aim to support you in living a more sustainable and healthy life in the creative industries, sharing well-researched articles, a curated brand directory, and a wealth of resources. Our mission - we want every business and every person to be able to burn bright not out 🌟 I have lived and loved the fashion industry from the inside; I have seen the darkness, as well as its beauty. Designers burn out, brands struggle, but there is also a community doing it differently. We want to shine a light on that community. And be part of that community too. Vogue Business recently conducted a survey of 600 fashion professionals where “systematic discrimination, unsustainable lifestyles, and a widespread burnout culture” was heavily felt. Without real change, the industry risks a mass talent exodus. We want to do our part to help change this. So, if you have 5 minutes to spare over the Christmas holidays, we would love for you to go and check it out. And please do let us know what you think 🙏 Wishing you lots of health + happiness for the New Year 😀 Love Marie and the TA team x x Ps. a humongous thank you to Emma R. Garwood and her amazing team at Folks. for their creative consultancy, bigger-picture thinking and getting our new website off the ground 🙏 ❤️ Emma, Liv, Poppy Marriott, Ellie Smith - you truly are all an awesome talented bunch of folks :-) #fashion #fashionbusiness #fashionindustry #fashionandmentalhealth #wellbeing #sustainability #peopleoverprofit #community #education #trailblazer #thetrendacademy #makingadifference #positivechanges #burnoutprevention #speaker

Immersed in my greatest passion - trend research and beauty - this project has been an absolute joy. 🎉 At the heart of this project lies a quest to understand what resonates with Dutch Gen Z in relation to K-beauty. Delving into beauty trends among the Dutch Gen Z for my client, I've been uncovering what resonates with this dynamic demographic. Through meticulous exploration of their values, environment, and reference points, I aim to uncover the essence of K-beauty in the Netherlands. What does K-beauty mean to them? What's trending, and how is it perceived? These are the pivotal questions guiding my research. Excitingly, I'm nearing completion, eager to shed light on the ever-evolving beauty landscape and the unique imprint of K-beauty in the Dutch context. 💄✨ I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to 손성민Seongmin(Mike) Sohn for this incredible opportunity and his aid within my research. Your support has been invaluable. 🙏 If you're intrigued by the insights uncovered in this project, feel free to reach out.

Passionate about the #beauty #industry, I am dedicated to continual learning and unlearning in order to stay at the forefront of this dynamic field. Committed to understanding the current landscape and addressing pertinent issues, I thrive in immersing myself in diverse spaces to gain valuable insights. Keenly aware of the beauty industry's ongoing challenges with #inclusivity, I took a proactive approach to address this issue during my recent research on Youthforia. Recognizing the importance of representation and diversity within the makeup scene, I crafted a mock-PR strategy last semester that serves as a thoughtful proposal for making significant strides towards inclusivity. My strategy focuses on not only identifying areas where the industry falls short but also presenting concrete steps and initiatives to foster a more inclusive environment. By acknowledging the existing gaps and proposing actionable solutions, I aim to contribute to the ongoing dialogue surrounding diversity within the beauty industry. Passionate about effecting positive change, I am excited about the prospect of bringing this dedication to inclusivity to a forward-thinking organization. Are you in the beauty scene? Let's connect to discuss how my strategic insights and commitment to promoting diversity can align with your team's goals and contribute to a more inclusive beauty landscape! #pr #publicrelations #prstrategy
