- Feature series - how the fashion industry treats womenFor my final year university project, I chose to produce a feature series investigating how the fashion industry treats women along its supply chain. I was delighted to receive a first for my features after putting in lots of hard work and talking to some amazing people. I am truly proud of how my pieces came together. https://rebeccahitchon.wordpress.com/2021/06/22/smashing-the-glass-runway-what-it-takes-for-a-female-fashion-designer-to-break-into-the-industry/ https://rebeccahitchon.wordpres
