In this episode of The Model Podcast we are talking to Caroline Rush – Head of the British Fashion Council.

Caroline oversees the British fashion industry’s activities within the domestic and international markets, providing integral support for emerging and established designers and attracting foreign buyers and investors. Having initially pursued an art course, Rush established her career in public relations and marketing in the early ‘90s in Manchester. She began her long-term collaboration with the British Fashion Council, providing creative and marketing solutions for London Fashion Week in 1998. In 2002 Rush launched public relations company Crush Communications, serving as managing director and overseeing the council’s press office for all initiatives, including the British Fashion Awards, as well as providing strategic public relations advice. Having joined the Council as Chief Executive in 2009, Rush immediately oversaw the council’s relocation to Somerset House in central London and as part of the 25th anniversary celebration.
