Editorial

It has been over five years since the COVID pandemic. Dr Elizabeth Kealy-Morris from Manchester Fashion Institute has been such an inspiration for me to keep going as a scholar. When I was completely wiped out and felt that my days of writing were over, she revitalized me. As a teacher and scholar who has recently moved into a research role, Elizabeth is a dynamo and to say that she is motivational is an understatement. Elizabeth is senior lecturer in dress and belonging at Manchester Fashion Institute. I appreciate her very much for all she has done for Fashion, Style & Popular Culture ( FSPC ) as well as for me as an individual. She has made my job as an editor so much easier! Thank you, Elizabeth – we love this issue!
