Join the Oxford Guild Business Society as we welcome Caroline Rush CBE, Chief Executive of the British Fashion Council, for our first exciting speaker event of a big term (keep an eye out for the rest!). This promises to be a hugely exciting event, covering some very interesting topics and an invaluable chance to hear from and ask questions of such a high profile figure!
As one of the first ladies of fashion, Rush oversees the British fashion industry’s activities within the domestic and international markets, providing key support for emerging as well as established designers and attracting foreign buyers and investors.

The British fashion industry is worth tens of billions of pounds a year, with investors scrambling to get involved. We thus highly recommend that those interested in finance, private equity or entrepreneurship as well as those interested in fashion attend.
Since her appointment as Chief Executive of the British Fashion Council, Rush has been widely credited with making the British fashion industry a major global force and London Fashion Week one of the coveted ‘Big Four’ fashion weeks. It was also largely due to her that London was one of the first fashion capitals to embrace live streaming over fashion week, emphasising the importance of digital innovation in fashion. Prior to this role, Rush spent twenty years in Marketing and PR across the fashion, music and lifestyle sectors and managed her own business for five years.
This is a unique opportunity to hear from an extremely high-profile figure who has a key role in shaping British fashion. It is not one to be missed!
ALL WELCOME! There will be an opportunity ask questions and there will also be photos, drinks and nibbles after the event. DO NOT MISS OUT!
Lola’s will be hosting the official afterparty for this highly exciting event. Our members will get discounted entry, and extended queue jump: https://www.facebook.com/events/1069562213057212/! We hope many of you will join us afterwards for this.
DATE: Tuesday 28th April 2015, (1st week) 7:30pm
