12 DAYS OF SUSTAINABLE(ISH) – DAY 5 SUSTAINABLE(ISH) FASHION

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG....!
It is with HUGE excitement that I bring you this very special mini-series of the Sustainable(ish) podcast to celebrate, and to count down to, the launch of The Sustainable(ish) Living Guide - everything you need to know to make small changes that make a big difference.
This book is pretty much the distillation of the Sustainable(ish) ethos and is being published by Bloomsbury on January 9th 2020 , and to mark such an auspicious occasion I've put together 12 shortish episodes of the podcast, one for each chapter of the book, where I have a good old chinwag with someone relevant to that chapter.

Day 5 of The Sustainable(ish) Living Guide, and we're onto Sustainable(ish) Fashion.
I talked in the Plastic-free(ish) episode with Cal Major on Day 3 about plastic being almost a kind of 'gateway drug' into a more wider awareness of sustainability, and I think fashion can be the same. We all wear clothes, so beginning to think a little bit differently about what we wear can be a real eye opener, and a brilliant place to start.
In this episode I'm chatting to Jade Doherty, a teacher who has been on her own slow fashion journey since the summer of 2018. Along the way she's amassed over 33k IG followers as she shares pictures of her inventive styling. Don't be put off by the beautiful IG aesthetic, Jade talks a LOT of sense, and in this episode shares a TON of brilliant tips for anyone looking in despair (and maybe a bit of embarrassment - there's no shame here!) at their bulging drawers and wardrobe, and wondering where and how to start.

Enjoy!
