Defining Sustainable Fashion (with Julie Jones)
Hannah & Suzanne welcome Julie Jones - arts librarian, lover of dogs, and slow fashion enthusiast - to the pod to break down the complicated system of both slow and sustainable fashion. What does it mean to approach fashion and how we clothes ourselves in a sustainable manner? Does it require us to wear linen? Julie's 3-ish things (which bloom sneakily and were maybe there the whole time?) broaden our understanding of the concept of 'sustainable fashion' and invite us to consider the wider capitalistic mechanism of which sustainable/slow fashion is simply a part.
