I hope that this episode helps you -- whether you're trying to find your path to changing the industry (I know I am), or you just need some more PR (DIY PR is an episode coming very soon -- don't worry).

How to build a fashion career that aligns with your values ft. sustainability expert Shaunie Brett Nov 04, 2019

Show notes

This week, I have the joy of speaking with Shaunie Brett; a sustainable fashion business consultant and Cambridge masters student. Despite her thriving career as a stylist for the likes of LOVE magazine, Burberry, and menswear start-up Thread, Shaunie knew something wasn't right in her life. Realizing this feeling was derived from a form of clothing addiction (let's be real -- we've all been there), Shaunie decided to not buy ANY new clothes for a year, her #nonewclothes challenge being featured publicly in the Evening Standard.

Presently, Shaunie has not only gone one year without shopping, but she has also freed herself of anxiety, and transformed her fashion career into one that aligns with her new lifestyle. On the show today, Shaunie shares her advice on how you can build a fashion career that feels authentic to you, and how shopping less is actually easier than you think.

Show notes

This week, I have the pleasure of interviewing Natalie Grogan the founder of ALL EYES, a fashion trend forecasting and consultancy company based right here in East London! While there are a lot of agencies in London, what makes ALL EYES different is their focus on scouting trends at ‘street level’ and sharing this knowledge, professionals from the likes of ASOS giving her business rave reviews.

Why you should borrow fashion from strangers ft. By Rotation founder Eshita Kabra-Davies Oct 06, 2019

Show notes

This week, I have Eshita Kabra-Davies, the founder of By Rotation as this week’s guest! By Rotation is a mobile app that is changing the way we consume fashion through allowing users to share their wardrobes -- think Airbnb for mid to high end fashion. Through using the platform, users decrease waste, increase closet-space, bring in passive income, and join a community of like-minded girls who love fashion just as much as they’re worried about the planet.

On the show, Eshita shares the journey to building By Rotation, and how she envisions the future of ‘circular fashion’.
