WARDROBE CRISIS with Clare Press Conscious Chatter - Kestrel Jenkins on Sustainable Fashion Podcasting
The ethical fashion movement is gathering momentum. Not so long ago sustainable, ethical, eco-fashion (whatever you want to call it) was a too easily dismissed as some way-out, niche concern. Something kooky, and very possibly hairy and hemp-y, that belonged on the lunatic fringe. Well, no longer. Today sustainability is a buzz word. Everyone wants a piece of the activism action. We're in the middle of a Fashion Revolution, where the coolest, smartest most creative fashion fans are starting to ask more questions about who made their clothes, where how and from what.
Podcaster Kestrel Jenkins is a pioneer in this space. She's been asking these questions since she was in college, became fascinated by fair trade, then went to intern at People Tree in London. In 2016, she launched Conscious Chatter
“I always have wanted to learn the stories behind things,” says Kestrel. Her favourite word? "Curious."
In this Episode Clare and Kestrel discuss the power of the podcast as a medium, who we think is listening and why, and how we keep them tuned in.
They share their perspectives on ethical and sustainable fashion, discuss how the conversation has changed since they both first joined it, and where they see it heading.
