In this episode of eLEXYfy: The Place for Fashion, we are excited to welcome Dana Thomas, an influential figure in fashion journalism and sustainability advocacy. he has since authored three critically acclaimed books, including Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster, Gods and Kings: The Rise and Fall of Alexander McQueen and John Galliano, and Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes.

"Lyxmode är av naturen hållbart", påstod nyligen Antoine Arnault, ansvarig för hållbarhet och image på LVMH. Stämmer verkligen detta? Erbjuder lyxmodemärkena högre kvalitet idag? Vi har sett en svindlande prisökning på lyxmode bara sedan pandemiåren. Chanels flap bag i mediumstorlek har exempelvis ökat med 104 procent sedan 2019. Innebär det att kvaliteten och värdet också står sig över tid? Höga priser torde tillåta större ansvar i leverantörskedjorna. Eller? I vilken riktning rör sig lyxmodeindustrin just nu? Dagens avsnitt grottar alltså ned sig i lyxmode och hållbarhet. Vi pratar med Dana Thomas, författare till böckerna Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster, Fashionopolis: The price of fast fashion and the future of clothes och Gods and Kings: The Rise and Fall of Alexander McQueen and John Galliano, och skribent för New York Times och Brittiska Vogue. Sedan träffar Sofia Hedström di Leo Mary Kyle Holle, grundaren till butiken Miami Twice, som säljer begagnade märkesväskor. Programmet leds av Jenny Lantz, docent i företagsekonomi med inriktning på kulturekonomi vid Handelshögskolan i Stockholm. Inslaget med Mary Kyle Holle på Miami Twice är gjort av modejournalisten Sofia Hedström di Leo. Bakom podden står också forskaren Tina Sendlhofer, Stockholm Environment Institute. Tack för att du lyssnar! Följ oss gärna på Instagram.

Like a manager or an agent or a publicist, a stylist has become a kind of must-have accessory for well-dressed, A-list celebrities. It's just expected that they will have hired someone to select the clothes they'll wear at public appearances. But this was not always the case.  In today's episode, Avery Trufelman, host of Articles of Interest, will guide us through the collapse of a certain kind of Hollywood glamor; to the rise of a growing, financially rewarding relationship between fashion designers and celebrity culture; and then onto the explosion in red carpet events patrolled by fashion police that helped create this new occupation. This episode was produced by Avery Trufelman and Evan Chung, who produces Decoder Ring with Willa Paskin, Katie Shepherd and Max Freedman. Derek John is Executive Producer. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director. You'll hear from Teri Agins, Dana Thomas, Melissa Rivers, and Jeanne Yang.

Longtime style reporter Dana Thomas's book, Fashionopolis, is an indictment of the true costs of fashion—like poisoned water, crushed workers, and overflowing landfills—that never make it onto the price tag of a dress or pair of jeans. Between 2000 and 2014, the annual number of garments produced doubled to 100 billion: 14 new garments per person per year for every person on the planet. The average garment is only worn seven times before being tossed—assuming it's not one of the 20 billion clothing items that go unsold and unworn. It's no surprise, then, that the fashion industry accounts for at least 10 percent of global carbon emissions and 20 percent of all industrial water pollution. Though the industry employs one out of every six people globally, fewer than two percent of them earn a living wage—more than 98 percent of workers are not only underpaid, they also toil in unsafe, unsanitary conditions. But change is underfoot: retailers are shifting their supply models, circular and slow fashion are on the rise, and new technology is making the manufacture of new and recycled fabrics cleaner. Dana Thomas joins the podcast to explain what will be required to fix a broken system. This episode originally aired in 2019.Go beyond the episode:Dana Thomas's Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of ClothesThomas's tips for weaning yourself off fast fashionWhy donating secondhand clothes to developing countries can actually prevent development—and kill local textile industriesWhat is “slow fashion”?

My guest today is Camille Charrière, influencer and sustainability editor for British Elle. A law school graduate who for a time worked for a hedge fund in London, Camille has become one of the leading voices in the eco-fashion movement. In our conversation, Camille shares how – while she has always been conscious about sustainability – a switch flicked in her mind during the Covid-19 pandemic, making her see that she would have to do her work differently if she wanted to make a difference in the world. So, she pivoted to sustainable fashion. We discuss what the fashion industry can do to become more sustainable and what we as consumers can do to contribute to a more eco-friendly world of fashion (hint: buy less!). Camille also tells the story of how an article in The New York Times led her to her wedding dress.

Neither of today's guests is a stranger to Hollywood. On this special episode, we first talk sustainable fashion, dance and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills with one of the Housewives, Sutton Stracke. Then, we travel to another movie Mecca, Cannes, to check in with Time magazine film critic Stephanie Zacharek on this year's film festival. Sutton Stracke is more than just a regular housewife. Sutton is the founder of The Sutton Concept, a boutique in West Hollywood, where she sells her own lines of eco-responsible fashion and homewares, as well as the products of local designers; she is also one of 200 women in the world who is a regular couture client. Before becoming a star on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Sutton was a studio manager for Merce Cunningham – one of the most influential choreographers of the 20th century – in his studio in West Village, New York, and before that, she was a debutante in Augusta, Georgia, with dreams of becoming a modern dance choreographer. Next for Sutton is a new season of Real Housewives – and maybe a RomCom?After Sutton Stracke, we hear which movies and performances Stephanie Zacharek loved at the Cannes Film Festival which just wrapped up. Stay tuned for tales of flirting Chinese garment workers, French haute cuisine, and a public toilet cleaner in Tokyo.

This month has been one of the most sparkly in ages. First, we had the Met Gala in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute's annual black-tie fundraiser, to kick off its latest blockbuster exhibition, Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty, on show until July 16. Invitees were asked to dress in homage to Karl Lagerfeld, the longtime designer of Chanel, Fendi, and Chloé, as well as his own namesake brand. Karl died in 2019, at the age of 85. That dictate meant high glamor on the red carpet, with lots of important jewelry. A few days later, there was the coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey, and while, in these difficult economic times, guests were asked not to wear coronets and tiaras, there was still a lot of remarkable jewelry on display, most notably the King and Queen's crowns. And now we have the Cannes Film Festival, a two-week-long glittering Red Carpet parade on the Riviera, and, by far, the glamest cinema event of the year. Anything and everything goes at Cannes.To talk about all this shimmer and shine, and how it's sustainable–because, yes, it is–we have leading jewelry expert Carol Woolton. When Carol joined Tatler magazine in London in 2001, she created the role of jewelry editor, one she later carried on to British Vogue, and one that is now an important post at all major glossy magazines. She has written several books on the subject, including The New Stone Age, and coming this fall, Dolce & Gabbana High Jewelry, published by Rizzoli. And Carol has her delightful podcast, called If Jewels Could Talk. On it, she speaks with owners of important jewelry collections, and about the history of famous jewelry. This fall, a book inspired by the podcast, also called If Jewels Could Talk, will be published by Simon & Schuster.Read the transcript of this episodeGet to know Dana Thomas and her book FashionopolisLearn more about Carol Woolton and If Jewels Could TalkDiscover the fashion brand Another TomorrowExplore the new Green Dream website, thegreendream.studio

This episode kicks off a new season and is a conversation with the legend Dana Thomas who is a world-renowned fashion author, journalist, podcast host, and leading voice on sustainability.  Dana has been called “The Woodward and Bernstein” of the fashion industry because of her investigative style of reporting. Dana's intelligent reporting style comes from her journalism training at The Washington Post where she wrote for many sections including the Style section with fashion editor Nina Hyde along with former Executive Editor Ben Bradley who would stop by Dana's desk and ask, “what's the news kiddo?” Dana's work is focused on highlighting fashion change makers. She is the European Sustainability Editor for British Vogue, and hosts “The Green Dream,” a weekly podcast on sustainability, produced by Wondercast Studio. Dana wrote the screenplay for Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams, a feature documentary directed by Luca Guadagnino, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2020. And in 2016, the French Minister of Culture named her a Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters. In 2007, Dana published the New York Times bestseller, "Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster". In 2015 she published “Gods and Kings: The Rise and Fall of Alexander McQueen and John Galliano”. And most recently, in 2019, Dana published “Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes”. Please join me in conversation with Dana over zoom from her home in Paris as we share stories of working at The Washington Post, talk about her incredible career and body of work including her podcast the Green Dream as well as her books.  And, of course, I get Dana's thoughts on the state of fashion.

When people talk about trying to reduce their carbon footprint, the one item that almost always comes up in the conversation is air travel. And with reason. Researchers believe that aviation accounts for approximately four percent of human-induced global warming–more than most countries, including Germany. If the aviation industry was a country, it would be the sixth largest greenhouse gas emitter, after China, the United States, India, Russia, and Japan.What to do? ​​The world's population is not going to stop flying. Quite the opposite: there were nearly 40 million flights in 2019, pre-pandemic, and the numbers are quickly reaching that record again, and will bypass it swiftly. Next year, that number is expected to be four percent higher, and by the mid-2030s–a mere ten years from now–experts predict that there will be 200,000 flights a day.The only way to reduce aviation's impact on climate is to create an environmentally cleaner way to fly. And that's what our guest today, Val Miftakhov, is doing with his company Zero Avia. He'll explain how.

Four years ago this month, Notre-Dame de Paris, the 12th-century cathedral in the heart of Paris, caught on fire. The city was smothered in smoke for days, and hearts around the world were broken. Notre-Dame is a gem of gothic architecture, an incomparable beauty in the center of the city, and a site for pilgrimage and tourism. As the cathedral smoldered, the city of Paris pledged to rebuild it as it was. But the mayor had also set forth a plan to make Paris the greenest city in Europe by 2030, and realized that redoing the landscape around Notre-Dame in a more ecological manner could help Paris reach that goal. In September 2021, the city launched a pro-environment design competition for the site, and last summer, the jury selected a team led by our guest today, the award-winning Belgian landscape architect Bas Smets, who has specialized in taking hyper-urban, often desolate sites and turning them into eco-friendly oases. For Notre-Dame, he and his colleagues will use the same approach for the surrounding landscape–the parvis, as the West side plaza is known, and the gardens to the east. Their proposal will turn the Île de la Cité, the island in the Seine where Notre-Dame sits, into a sustainable microclimate. Bas is here on The Green Dream today to explain to us how they will do it.Read the transcript of this episodeGet to know Dana Thomas and her book FashionopolisLearn more about Bas Smets Discover the fashion brand Another TomorrowExplore the new Green Dream website, thegreendream.studio

Today, we welcome Mya-Rose Craig, a 20-year-old British-Bangladeshi who is the foremost birdwatcher of her generation. Three years ago, Mya-Rose became the youngest person to have seen half the world's bird species. Mya-Rose, who grew up in a village near Bristol, England, has been a passionate conservationist and climate activist since she was a tween, when she launched her blog, called Birdgirl. We talk about her activism and the beauty of birds and all biodiversity in her new memoir, also called Birdgirl, The Times of London described her book as "a cross between a travel diary, an ornithologist's guide, and a thriller." And the esteemed writer Margaret Atwood has called Birdgirl, "Lyrical, poignant, and insightful." I think that's the perfect way to describe Mya-Rose, too. She spoke to us from her dorm room at Cambridge University in England, where she is studying Human, Social, and Political Sciences.Read the transcript of this episodeGet to know Dana Thomas and her book FashionopolisLearn more about Mya-Rose Craig and her memoir, BirdgirlDiscover the fashion brand Another TomorrowExplore the new Green Dream website, thegreendream.studio

About a year ago, we welcomed on the Green Dream two Ukrainian fashion designers, Ksenia Schnaider and Ivan Frolov, to tell us about their harrowing experiences as the Russian army invaded their homeland. When we spoke, Ksenia was a refugee in Germany, with her husband and their young daughter, figuring out what to do next, and Ivan was at home in Kyiv, which was under heavy assault from the Russians. I thought, with the recent anniversary of the invasion, it would be a good time to check in with them and see how they are managing. Turns out they are as well as well can be, given the circumstances. This may be the most hopeful of all our Green Dream episodes. We also welcome back Hannah Elliott, luxury car writer for Bloomberg Pursuits, and a regular Green Dream contributor. She's going to tell us about her adventures as the first driver outside of the Rolls-Royce company to test drive the luxury motor brand's new EV, the Spectre. Yes, like the James Bond enemy. Hannah flew halfway around the world to take the wheel.

It's Oscars Week next week, and to celebrate cinema's top awards ceremony, we've decided to have a glamorous movie episode here on The Green Dream. Our first guest is Shaunak Sen, the award-winning director of All That Breathes, a poetic documentary that has already won best documentary awards at both the Sundance and Cannes Film Festivals – a first in cinema. And it has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary.Also on The Green Dream today is Time magazine film critic Stephanie Zacharek, who will tell us about other touching, and beautiful, environment-themed films in theaters or streaming right now.

My guest today is Amber Valletta, supermodel, actress, and climate activist. Amber works with several NGOs, serves as British Vogue's Contributing Sustainability Editor, and does eco-consulting for brands such as Karl Lagerfeld. This spring, the third Karl Lagerfeld Amber Valletta collection will drop in stores around the world, and includes stylish, environmentally conscious ready-to-wear, such as biker jackets, little black dresses, and suits, as well as accessories. And she takes her activism seriously, participating in Jane Fonda's Fire Drill Friday protests in Washington and Los Angeles, and even getting arrested for the cause. This activism is deeply embedded in Amber—her mother successfully protested against the construction of a nuclear power plant near their home in Tulsa, Oklahoma, when Amber was a child. Amber watched and learned.I like how Amber is trying to push fashion towards more sustainable practices from the inside—as her friend Stella McCartney says, “Infiltrating from within.” As the Fall/Winter 23-24 fashion shows unfurl in Paris this week—with Amber walking in several of them, including such eco-conscious brands as Stella McCartney and Chloé—I thought it seemed like the perfect time to have her on the podcast.

My guest on The Green Dream today is the legendary former Vogue editor André Leon Talley, and no, he is not speaking to us from the grave, though if anyone could, and would, it would be André! André and I met for our interview at the Mona Bismarck American Center in Paris, where he was overseeing the installation of "Little Black Dress”. This week, a year after his death at 73 from Covid-19, a large swath of his estate is up for auction at Christie's in New York, to benefit two of his favorite places of worship, the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem and the Mt. Sinai Missionary Baptist Church in Durham, North Carolina, where he grew up. The Christie's auction is how this interview fits into The Green Dream remit: if you buy well, and, boy, did André buy well (and was gifted very well too), your belongings can have a good long life after you are gone – be it heirlooms for friends and family, or estate sales open to the public. As I say often in my British Vogue sustainability column, in interviews, and in conference speeches, the most sustainable thing you can do is buy less, buy better. We've even turned into a hashtag: #buylessbuybetter.Read the transcript of this episodeGet to know Dana Thomas and her book FashionopolisDiscover the fashion brand Another TomorrowExplore the new Green Dream website, thegreendream.studio

We're rewinding to our first ever book club: a conversation with Megan McSherry on the iconic, juicy, insider look of the luxury fashion industry as told through Dana Thomas' Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster. We discuss the “democratization” of luxury fashion, consumer psychology, celebrity product placement, “it” bags, perfumes… everything that you've ever wondered about the behind-the-scenes of the luxury fashion industry, this book got into. We also share some of our favorite iconic luxury fashion moments, retrospective disdain for trends, and the value of artisanship.

Dale Vince is an eco-pioneer. Back in the mid-1990s, he launched Ecotricity, the world's first green energy company, based in the United Kingdom. In 2011, Dale created the Electric Highway, Europe's first EV charging network, which runs from Scotland to Wales. More recently, he founded Devil's Kitchen, an organization that provides vegan school dinners. Dale is also the chairman and owner of Forest Green Rovers, a professional soccer team based in England, that has been recognized by FIFA and the United Nations as the “world's greenest football club.” And, as I write in the December issue of British Vogue, Dale is the founder of Skydiamond, a tech start-up that grows diamonds from carbon captured from the air. Also on this holiday episode, I'm going to tell you a bit about our music contributor Eric Brace, an American Roots musician, Grammy-nominated producer, and founder of Red Beet Records, based in Nashville, Tennessee. Eric's first band, Last Train Home, put out “Holiday Limited,” a now-classic EP of festive tunes, available on SoundCloud, and I'll share a bit of that lovely music with you, as well.Read the transcript of this episodeGet to know Dana Thomas and her book FashionopolisDiscover the fashion brand Another Tomorrow

The period between the 1990s and 2010s is often referred to as the golden age of high fashion. A new documentary series on Sky explores the era and shows how – while the models might have been impeccably dressed – backstage, things were often unravelling at the seams. Robert Bound is joined by writer Dana Thomas, The Business of Fashion editor at large Tim Blanks, and head of fashion at ‘The Telegraph', Lisa Armstrong, to discuss the show and the era. 

My guest today is Merlin Sheldrake, a British biologist and author of an award-winning science-driven memoir called Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds and Change Our Minds and Shape our Futures, which The New York Times describes as an “ebullient and ambitious exploration" of fungi, and the Wall Street Journal calls “a gorgeous book of literary nature writing in the tradition of Robert Macfarlane and John Fowles, ripe with insight and erudition.” I also welcome back to The Green Dream our regular contributor Hannah Elliott, luxury car writer for Bloomberg Pursuits. She'll tell us about the new Rolls-Royce EV, the Spectre.Read the transcript of this episodeGet to know Dana Thomas and her book FashionopolisLearn more about Merlin SheldrakeDiscover the fashion brands Another Tomorrow

Muchas personas apasionadas por la moda empiezan a aprender sobre ella a través de la lectura: tal vez con alguno de los miles de libros escritos sobre Coco Chanel o los de imágenes que celebran el trabajo de distintas personas, marcas y medios de la industria. Pero en este capítulo queremos hablar de los libros que abordan la moda desde un punto de vista más académico, con contenido más crítico, basado en investigación y análisis de la moda como fenómeno sociocultural.

Can advertising's immense power to change behavior be used for good? In this brand new podcast, produced by Intelligence Squared, Myra Nussbaum, President and Chief Creative Officer at Havas Chicago and Dan Lucey, Chief Creative Officer at Havas New York, talk to the people who are harnessing the power of advertising to help people and the planet. This week, Dan and Myra were joined by Dana Thomas, British Vogue's European Sustainability Editor, best-selling author, screenplay writer and podcast host. She began her career writing for the Style section of The Washington Post and served as a cultural and fashion correspondent for Newsweek in Paris for fifteen years. Dana has extensive knowledge of fashion, culture, arts, politics, news and more.   Alongside Dan and Myra, Dana talked about how sustainability has always been part of her life. She also shared the findings of her latest book, Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes, for which she traveled around the world to expose the dark side of the fashion industry. She talked about the environmental and humanitarian impact of fast fashion, and the problem with brands greenwashing in the name of faux sustainable credentials. She also spotlighted the brands and visionaries making change for the better in the industry and highlighted what the advertising industry can do to promote fashion that does not harm people or the planet.

My guest today on the Green Dream is Lily Cole, British model-turned-environmentalist and author of https://www.lilycole.com/who-cares-wins-the-book (Who Cares Wins: How to Protect the Planet You Love), an eye-opening book about climate change. Lily began modeling twenty years ago and has been named “Model of the Year” and one of the top 30 models of the 2000s. When Lily was 17, she modeled for a jewelry company that was later accused of exploiting local Bushmen with its diamond mining practices. Lily traveled to Botswana to understand the situation, and she was so moved by what she saw, she helped the Bushmen export their own jewelry and keep the profits. This was her first campaign to help the planet and humanity, and it put her on the path toward activism. Since then, she has woven together her modeling and climate awareness work. Following the publication of her book, Lily launched a podcast of her own, also called https://www.lilycole.com/podcast (Who Cares Wins). On it, she discusses climate solutions with guests such as Chelsea Clinton, David Attenborough, and Elon Musk. I heard Lily speak at the TED Countdown Summit in Edinburgh last year, during a dinner she hosted at the botanical gardens for conference attendees, and was truly moved by her passion for climate reforms. I think you will be too.

Today I'm in conversation with an old friend, King of Vintage Couture Cameron Silver, the founder and owner of https://decadesinc.com (Decades), a top vintage couture boutique in West Hollywood, California. Born and raised in Beverly Hills, Cameron has great flair, and seems to know everyone who's anyone. As he writes in https://www.amazon.com/Decades-Century-Fashion-Cameron-Silver/dp/159691663X (Decades: A Century in Fashion), his gorgeous coffee table book published in 2012 by Bloomsbury, he embarked “on a career as a purveyor of only the finest pre-worn clothing.” In 1997, he opened Decades in a 1926 Art Deco building on Melrose Avenue. “I had no experience managing a business, and no real education in fashion, other than as a consumer,” Cameron wrote in his book. “But I knew that I wanted to introduce a new world of customers to vintage. Before purchasing any single piece, I would always ask myself, ‘Is it modern?'” If you go in his store, or take a look on his e-tailing site DecadesInc.com, you'll see the answer is always yes. I'm thrilled to have him on the program today.

My guest today is Willow Defebaugh, the editor-in-chief of http://atmos.earth (Atmos), a luxurious biannual magazine and engaging website dedicated to the intersection of climate and culture.http://atmos.earth ( Atmos) features interviews of leading voices in the climate movement and beautiful photography and art portfolios that make the subject not only approachable, but understandable. As many of my guests say, radical change is necessary if we are going to slow down climate change, and we all know change is hard. But as a trans woman, Defebaugh understands keenly what it takes to embrace profound change, and she believes that as a society, as a community, we can absolutely do it. Today, we'll talk about all of it: climate, culture, consumerism, and how nature was an inspiration and a guide for her transition. As she has said, “Trans-ness is the ultimate embodiment of nature, because nature is a force of transformation and evolution.” Read the https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZvXia5PZMaYdqJSOyKwWmoB2n8E9HOkY/view?usp=sharing (transcript of this episode) Get to know https://www.danathomas.com/index.html (Dana Thomas) and her book https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/554229/fashionopolis-by-dana-thomas/ (Fashionopolis) Learn more about https://atmos.earth/sphere/willow-defebaugh/ (Willow Defebaugh)  Explore the fashion brand http://anothertomorrow.co (Another Tomorrow) Music by Eric Brace of https://redbeetrecords.com/ (Red Beet Records) Cover art by http://www.studionumberone.com/ (Studio Number One)

If you like cakes, baking or English reality TV, then chances are you've seen my guest today, https://www.nancybirtwhistle.co.uk (Nancy Birtwhistle).

The rise of online clothes shopping has also led to the rise of the return. What actually happens to the items we send back? In the last year, 51% of British shoppers sent back items they purchased online - but these goods don't always end up back on the shelves. Jelena Sofronijevic talks to Dana Thomas, European Sustainability Editor at British Vogue, host of The Green Dream with Dana Thomas, and author of Fashionopolis, and Dr Mark Sumner, Lecturer in Sustainable Fashion at the University of Leeds. “Fast fashion is like fast food. We consume it quickly, then we're hungry for more.” - Dana Thomas “Most brands work hard to get clothes refurbished and back on sale.” - Mark Sumner  “Just because it's more expensive, doesn't mean it's more sustainable.” - Mark Sumner “I'm an advocate of fast fashion - which might seem perverse, as a sustainability lecturer.” - Mark Sumner “There is a whole generation of fashion brands that are strictly online.” – Dana Thomas “Luxury brands will try and retain exclusivity by burning stock, by throwing stock away, ensuring nobody can use those returns.” – Mark Sumner For more, listen to The Bunker Daily: Wild Wild Waste — How the West litters the world with Ruth Michaelson.  https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Presented and produced by Jelena Sofronijevic.

Today's guest is British designer Katharine Hamnett, fashion's original eco-warrior and pioneer of sustainable fashion. Decades ago, Hamnett made the decision to shift to more ethical and pro-environmental practices, such as using organic cotton and natural dyes. It was an "unbelievably difficult" process, she says, because her own employees opposed her decision, sometimes secretly replacing her sustainable materials for unsustainable ones. Nevertheless, she has persisted, and eventually, she met her pro-planet and humanitarian goals: her clothes are made as ethically and environmentally responsible as possible. Hamnett, fashion's “Bad Girl with Integrity,” has proved that sustainable fashion is not only possible; it can be profitable. Also with on this episode: Hannah Elliott, the luxury car writer for Bloomberg Pursuits, and a regular contributor to The Green Dream, tells us about Harley-Davidson's new electric motorcycle, the LiveWire One, which she calls "powerful and stylish."

My guest today is Amy Powney, creative director for the “It-girl” sustainable fashion brand Mother of Pearl in London. Amy is an environmental force in British fashion and speaks often publicly on the importance of sustainability in fashion, and she has transformed Mother of Pearl from a traditional fashion company to one that fully embraces green practices. In 2021, film director Becky Hutner made “Fashion Reimagined,” a film that follows Powney as she traces Mother of Pearl's supply chain and discovers a host of environmental and humanitarian issues, including water pollution, deforestation and global warming. Vogue has called Powney: “One of the most clued up designers on the subject of sustainable fashion.” And the Sunday Times in London described her as “a voice for a new generation of designers.” Read the https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E3GV-ErVYjqBt92Xoa8UJCFmKwtqFmcWRhbl7VjeTtU/edit?usp=sharing (transcript of this episode) Get to know https://www.danathomas.com/index.html (Dana Thomas) and her book https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/554229/fashionopolis-by-dana-thomas/ (Fashionopolis) Read more about https://tribecafilm.com/films/fashion-reimagined-2022 (Fashion Reimagined), premiering at the https://tribecafilm.com/festival?utm_source=google&utm_medium=SEM&utm_campaign=GENTRIBECA&utm_id=SEM&gclid=CjwKCAjwy_aUBhACEiwA2IHHQDfi5OYF76gpjfw1bb_RywrD2qfNNqFhhWTB3guqUIU5nE0SWGUyvRoCZaIQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds (Tribeca Film Festival) Discover the fashion brand http://anothertomorrow.co (Another Tomorrow) Meet Barry Lopez and his books https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/672448/embrace-fearlessly-the-burning-world-by-barry-lopez/ (Embrace Fearlessly the Burning World) and https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/103565/arctic-dreams-by-barry-lopez/ (Arctic Dreams) Visit literary critic http://hermionehoby.com (Hermione Hoby) Music by Eric Brace of https://redbeetrecords.com/ (Red Beet Records) Cover art by http://www.studionumberone.com (Studio Number One) Learn more about https://dumfries-house.org.uk (Dumfries House), Prince Charles' wellness and sustainability center in Ayrshire, Scotland

It seems that no matter how much water you drink, someone is always telling you to drink more. They may be right. It does seem that staying hydrated is good for you. This episode begins with an explanation of the benefits of drinking more water - both physical and mental. https://www.eatingwell.com/article/17435/why-drink-water-how-water-and-health-are-connected/  Everyone seems more stressed out than ever before. People sometimes even brag about how stressful their lives are. Yet stress can cause a lot of problems such as anxiety, worry, fear and distorted thinking. And the problem seems to be getting worse. Clinical psychologist Arthur Ciaramicoli is one of the leading experts on stress and he is author of the book The Stress Solution (https://amzn.to/3yQgt22) . He joins me to explain stress to you in a way you may have never heard before. He also has some great strategies to help cope with stress and minimize its effects on you.    The clothing industry is huge. After all, everyone wears clothes. As with any industry, there are problems and concerns in the world of fashion. For instance, millions of garments are thrown away each year having never been worn by anyone. Also, polyester is in a lot of clothing and polyester doesn't break down - it basically lasts forever. And that is just the beginning. Dana Thomas is a writer who has served as cultural and fashion correspondent for Newsweek, contributor to the New York Times Style section and she is the author of a book called Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes (https://amzn.to/2PXFgMr). Listen as she takes a look behind the scenes of the clothing industry and explains why we should all be concerned.   The most important part of any email is the subject line.
