Welcome to SSACHS magazine MEET THE CO-EDITORS In true 2020 style, it was decided two Editors with complementary skill sets would be a stronger proposition to one standing at the helm! Introducing Diane Richardson, who started her career as an eager young retail buyer and progressed into the product creation engine room of various international brands. Passion for product with one eye on the creative and the other on business, Diane brings a steady hand and clear vision to SSACHS. Her Co-Editor friend and colleague Soudi Masouleh originally made the phone call to Diane, "Why don't we start a magazine?"

And so it began... Soudi is a recognised performance apparel design leader who focused her attention on the sportswear industry and has never looked back. The pair met at Nike in the early 2000's and officially teamed up in business together in 2018.

Together, this formidable duo aim to bring the apparel design community together under one roof. Opening up their industry knowledge and network, SSACHS will curate and celebrate this dynamic industry and get the inside story for their apparel creative community who share their passion for design and innovation.

Welcome to SSACHS magazine!
