It also mentors and supports talented young designers. In 2014, Fares became a British Vogue contributing editor. She continues to support and champion fashion, art and design and works in partnership with Farfetch, to help launch new designers from UK universities. She is a Jury panel member at PAD London. Sarah Mower MBE is a journalist and advocate for young designers whose curiosity about the meaning and direction of fashion has always motivated her to seek out new talent. As chief critic for style.com, and then Vogue's voguerunway.com she has charted the rise of the designers in this book, often finding and making relationships with them as students. Her interest in scouting talent and representing their problems to the British Fashion Council led to an active roaming role as the BFC Ambassador for Emerging Talent in 2009. She took the chair of the NEWGEN selection committee in the same year, bringing in London's top expert buyers and fashion editors to help young designers navigate through their first years in business. She is a visiting professor at Central Saint Martins (CSM) and an honorary fellow of the Royal College of Art.
