Location: Sarabande Foundation: Established by Lee Alexander McQueen, 22 Hertford Road, London, N1 5SH
About:
Paving the way for female photographers in the 90’s – Liz Collins editorial career has led her to representing some of the world’s leading brands such as Miu Miu, Dior, Givenchy and Calvin Klein. Working with the likes of Cara Delevingne, Lauren Hutton, Edie Campbell and other industry greats – Liz Collins has directed short films and created sensational commissioned films.
Whether shooting fashion or beauty, Liz Collins likes to inject mischief and emotion into her photographs and it is this sensibility that makes her work instantly recognisable. The images are part representational of the exposure to the music, youth culture and political unease that dominated the streets of the second city of Birmingham in the 1980’s, where Collins attended art school.
Liz’s inherent inclusion and progressive attitude creates images that are compelling and storytelling. Liz now enjoys a varied editorial career and has contributed to The Gentlewoman, Vogue, LOVE, EXIT and Dazed.
Joined by writer, curator and Editor-in-Chief of The Gentlewoman Penny Martin, this candid talk will explore Collins’ journey. The peaks, the downfalls and all that has made her the successful creative she is today.

2022-05-05 15:00 - 16:00
Join the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) for this webinar covering the labelling requirements for the UKCA marking.

Great Britain now has its own robust regulatory framework for goods, and manufacturers need to start using the UKCA marking. The UKCA regime seeks to ensure consumers are protected from unsafe, and non-compliant goods. We advise that businesses get ready for the new regime as soon as possible to ensure they are compliant by 1 January 2023. This is the final deadline for businesses to get ready, and there will be no further extension.

The session will cover the general rules on how to correctly label your product for the GB market under the new regulatory regime. This will include use of the UKCA marking and importer labelling responsibilities as well as easements in place to support building the UKCA marking into the manufacturing process.

This event is for businesses who have a role or involvement in the manufacturing or supply of CE/UKCA marked goods onto the GB market and for trade associations and organisations representing sectors which require the CE/UKCA marking.

There will be a chance to ask questions at the end.

Please note, Northern Ireland will not be covered in this session – if you want to know about Northern Ireland, BEIS are running a separate webinar.
