0:00.0	Hi, I'm Imran Ahmed, founder and CEO of the Business of Fashion, and welcome to the B.OF podcast.
0:08.5	Voices is the most stimulating gathering of fashion industry leaders on the planet.
0:13.5	What makes voices different is that we mix our industry with fascinating people from other sectors,
0:18.6	from the worlds of economics, activism, health and

1:28.6	Reutfeld and Helima Aden in conversation with our editor at large, Tim Blanks, at Voices
1:35.1	2017. I think between these two women, you have a wealth of experience that's almost incredible.
1:47.0	The lives that these two people have lived
1:49.0	and the way that they've come together
