The Business of Fashion | Sinéad Burke on Making Change a Movement, Not a Moment | BoF VOICES 2021 @businessoffashion | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Four years ago, writer and activist Sinéad Burke made her debut at BoF VOICES,, when she implored the fashion community to start designing for disability, noting that the global spending power of disabled people is more than $1.9 trillion.
Following a series of high-profile appearances after VOICES 2017 — from Davos to the Met Gala — Burke has been honing her sense of mission and purpose, and has come to the conclusion that creating products for disabled people is not enough.
In her return to the BoF VOICES stage in 2021, she said: “If change is only embedded in the present, change will be a moment, not a movement.”
