Running for Fashion Show Chair feels like the most natural next step in a journey I’ve absolutely loved being part of. Over the past two years on RAG as Secretary and Vice Chair, and also as this year's Fashion Show social secretary, I’ve developed the experience, confidence, and insight needed to lead ICSM's biggest event.

Fashion Show is genuinely something I care so deeply about. I love the entire process from the early brainstorming and planning, to the small details coming together, to the energy on the day itself when months of work finally unfold in front of you. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing everyone’s hard work pay off, and that passion is what drives me to put myself forward.

Through my roles, I’ve built strong organisational skills, clear communication, and calm leadership under pressure. As Fashion Show social secreatry whilst being RAG's vice chair this year, I’ve gained invaluable behind the scenes insight into how the show operates. Having worked closely with previous Fashion Show Chairs, I understand both the challenges and the opportunities that come with the role. I’ve learned from their experiences, and I plan to build on their successes to make our next show even more ambitious.

I’m ready to lead with enthusiasm and organisation to make next year’s Fashion Show our best yet.
