Professor Frances Corner OBE joins Fashion Means Business for a thought-provoking conversation on how fashion education must evolve in a world shaped by AI, climate change, and growing uncertainty. With decades of leadership experience across the creative and higher education sectors, Frances shares her perspective on why fashion education remains as relevant as ever — and how its purpose is expanding.
Speaking with Dr. Nina Van Volkinburg, she explores why creativity, critical thinking, communication and cultural awareness are becoming the most valuable skills in the modern workplace. The conversation also looks at employability, entrepreneurship, and the importance of preparing students for careers that may not yet exist. From building confidence and resilience to encouraging lifelong learning, Frances reflects on how education can empower people to navigate uncertainty and create meaningful impact.
A must-listen for students, educators, industry professionals, and anyone interested in the future of the fashion business.
