As fashion week draws to a close, we take a look at one of our most problematic faves - new clothes.
Muna and Louisa speak to fashion insiders Ros and Marie to get useful tips about how we can look good sustainably, what we can do as consumers to push the fashion industry to be better, and what companies and our government should be doing to make the important changes we need to see.
Ros Studd worked as a buyer in the fashion industry before leaving to teach textile design. She's now on a new mission to get everyone mending to save the planet and some cash. Earlier this year she launched repairwhatyouwear.com to give people the confidence and skills to sew by hand.
Marie, founder of CONGREGATIONcollective, had a similar experience of working in the fashion industry and wanted to experiment and find a way which worked better for everyone, the designers, makers and the world. The collectives latest collection is 100% up-cycled. https://www.instagram.com/congregationdesign/
