All the while providing liveable wages, qualitative products, and a pure carbon-negative footprint.

The fashion industry is facing a reckoning. Clothing production accounts for 10% of global CO2 emissions and textile dying yields 20% of global waste water. And shamefully, 85% of all textiles are disposed of each year. Additionally, some businesses are trying to convince consumers that their products are more sustainable than they are by using “greenwashing” buzzwords like “zero waste” and “organic.” Ethical Clothing, a search engine for sustainable clothing brands and products, was founded with the goal to enable consumers to make informed purchasing decisions as they navigate the world of sustainable clothing brands. We invited Ben Heinkel, Ethical Clothing's Co-Founder, to discuss the fashion industry crisis and their solution of directly connecting well-intentioned consumers with truly ethical fashion companies. Listen for Ben's insights on: How Ethical Clothing provides consumers with the tools and knowledge to make ethical purchasing decisions.

Morgan Macdonald decided to start a clothing company that didn't put shame on body types. Morgan herself who has struggled with eating disorders knows the difficulty in going to a clothing store and feeling pressure due to the sizes of current clothing standards. So with her mother's background in the clothing industry and her desire to shift the thinking with clothing while bringing a sustainability factor to it, Morgan set out to bring a change. She and her mother now own a woman-run factory that produces clothing for women of all body types and ranging vastly in sizes and shapes that is made from sustainable materials and operates in a way to lessen waste. Her company Mettamade seeks to empower humans to both feel good and look good.  They strive to keep all bodies in mind while approaching the wardrobe from a minimalist approach, by offering versatile items that can be worn in various ways.   Topics Discussed: Body positivity with clothing sizes. Blending clothing fashion with sustainable efforts. Good and bad types of material you should be looking for.

We're back with perhaps our most paradoxical episode yet - how often do you get strong positive ethical chat alongside chat about the best way to dispose of a body? Yup, that's what we thought. This week's enthusiastic guest is sustainable fashion pioneer and founder of Chaos and Colour Pariss Cozier, a woman who blazed a trail taking her first from London to Bristol (geddon the Westcountry), all the way to traditional garment making in India and beyond. Alongside discussion of the fast-fashion bingeing and ethical discovery which led her to where she is now, is a big old confession of a love for cults and all things macabre. Pariss is most definitely a woman after our own hearts... just as long as she's not, you know, actually after our hearts. We get the sense she might get away with it. There's all the usual new recommendations too from Becky and Sarah, covering everything from Sarah's new obsession with Quokkas and Curtis Sittenfeld, to Becky's outrageous boot buying and new poetic favourite.

This episode is about purpose, co-creation and building a social enterprise with a friend. It's about fashion with a heart, and following your dreams. Rosario Dawson and Abrima Erwiah are Studio 189, a social enterprise fashion, lifestyle and media brand based between New York and Ghana, that won the CFDA Sustainable Fashion Initiative Award last year. They work in countries with valuable skills but little infrastructure and limited access to markets, to help build the creative economy of the African fashion industry. You no doubt know Rosario for her film work - she was discovered at 15 sitting on her New York stoop by Harmony Korine, who cast her in his cult hit, Kids. Since then she’s been in major movies from Sin City to Men in Black to Rent. She’s also an activist. In 2004 she co-founded Voto Latino, to encourage young Hispanic and Latino voters to become more politically involved. She sits on the board of Eve Ensler’s V-Day's One Billion Rising, a global protest to end violence against women and promote gender equality. Abrima studied business and her career background is in luxury - she used work for Bottega Veneta. A trip with Rosario to Eve Ensler's City of Joy in the Congo cemented her decision to work in social enterprise.  What does it take to build a business like this? How do you overcome the challenges of working in countries where the lights regularly go out, or a day off sick might mean malaria? Are we on the brink of a new era, one characterised by sharing, empathy, purpose? What sort of world do we want to shape for the next generation of women change-makers?
