Dr Brett Staniland: Love Island, culture shifts, 12 things every man needs

After achieving his PHD in Public Health Dr Brett Staniland did something crazy, he shifted his career to fashion, bringing his academic love of a fancy fact with him. Today, the 30-year-old model, activist and identical twin is on a mission to inspire the Love Island generation to make positive change - and, so far, he’s nailing it. 

Thanks to Brett’s subtle activism while appearing on the show, Love Island dropped their fast fashion sponsors for eBay, sparking a culture shift towards pre-loved clothes, but that’s not enough for Brett. 

In this conversation, Melanie and Brett talk about the desire for impact, how to stay focussed on your purpose and why long-term wins are always better than quick fixes.

Along the way Brett opens up about online abuse, his working-class Derbyshire roots, and why his favourite item of clothing is a women’s suit by Lemaire - for himself!  

And Brett shares how to build the perfect men’s wardrobe and prescribes a new way to shop - best of all, with his approach, everyone wins.
