In this episode, we dive into the impact fast fashion has on the world with Liva Firth MBE.    The fast fashion and mass production that we all buy into has a dark side that many of us tend to ignore: the social impact. The people who are behind the curtains making these garments are working in poor conditions are abused daily, and often have their lives in danger due to negligence on the part of the companies who employ them. We play a part in this abuse as we continue to support these practices through our purchases. This bears the question: we wouldn't let our neighbors live or work in such conditions, so why would we allow it (and support) for this to happen to people abroad? It's time to reconsider which clothing companies we are supporting.   Young people are being brainwashed by these giant companies to keep spending their money on fast fashion. They are purposely targeted on social media platforms and are incited to spend more and consume more products from these particular brands. What makes it harder for them to give up these shopping practices is that they grew up with these brands, while older generations did not. Being aware of the marketing practices of these big companies such as SHEIN, for example, is the first step to not getting sucked into their world and participating in the fast-fashion phenomenon.    The environmental impact of such business practices in the clothing industry is huge. It is destructive to the environment through air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and landfill. By purchasing a bit costlier garments from companies that have more environmentally and human-friendly business practices, you will not only reduce landfill waste as the clothing will last longer but also reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Spending money on items made by companies who care about sustainability is not only great for the environment but for your savings account too.  Livia is is the co-founder and Creative Director of Eco-Age – the leading consulting and creative agency specialized in integrated sustainability, and founder of the Green Carpet Challenge (GCC). She is renowned for creating compelling frameworks and campaigns for environmental and social justice with global reach. In this episode, I am joined by Livia Firth MBE to discuss the clothes you are wearing right now, the fast fashion and mass production that we all buy into and how it has a dark side that many of us tend to ignore: the social impact. She discusses how young people are being brainwashed by these giant companies to keep spending their money on fast fashion. They are purposely targeted on social media platforms and are incited to spend more and consume more products from these particular brands. And, she explains how the environmental impact of such business practices in the clothing industry is huge. It is destructive to the environment through air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and landfill. We then dive into what we can do right now to lessen the impact, what clothes are more sustainable for the environment, and what to look for and what to avoid when purchasing new clothes. Livia is is the co-founder and Creative Director of Eco-Age – the leading consulting and creative agency specialized in integrated sustainability, and founder of the Green Carpet Challenge (GCC).

#40 Livia Firth, Co-founder and Creative Director of Eco-AgeWhat has been your turning point that made you change your vision of sustainability ? For Livia Firth, it was in 2008 when she went to Bangladesh and saw the backside of fashion. In the meantime, she co-founded Eco-Age, a creative agency that integrates both environmental and social justice. Working along with brands, NGO's, governments and stakeholders at large, the agency is defining strategies that drive inner changes. Livia is shaping new ways to have a positive and significant impact within the supply chain, through the right material choices with labeling and honest communication avoiding greenwashing. She is convinced that scientific data is a necessary knowledge to take into account for the fashion industry. From a maker and consumer perspective, she's aiming to redefine the production as well as the consumption systems by asking the right questions. In this episode, Livia is giving many solutions that encourage tangible action towards a more sustainable industry driven by innovation, creativity and activism.

Sostenibilità e dintorni con Livia Firth e Nicola Giuggioli, Ecoage

Diamonds Are A Girls Best FriendWhile diamonds are usually seen on women, the diamond industry itself has been traditionally male dominated. From the mines to the heads of large jewellery houses like Graff and De Beers. Its a topic we spoke about in more detail in episode 5 with Jewellery designer Maryline Kekeli. However this has been changing gradually over the last few years as natural diamond companies emerge as models for sustainable practises and gender equality. The diamond industry supports the livelihood of roughly 10 million people worldwide so it’s important that this community is supported. Thats where the Natural Diamond Council comes in. They provide insights and transparency for the diamond industry, promoting sustainability and ethics. The NDC works directly with diamond companies and mines to educate and encourage them to build on important areas of ecology, human rights and gender parity. One example of positive transformation is Botswana, now the second largest diamond producer in the world.Gender Parity In Diamond MiningExcitingly women are rising to the top of diamond businesses and taking important roles in decision making. Women represent 30% of the workforce of the worlds largest diamond producers. More and more women are being bought  into highly skilled but traditionally male dominated roles. This includes women in upper management, arguably the most key change of all. Because when diverse voices (both in gender and race) are heard at the top of companies, positive change follows. Naseem Lahri was recently appointed Managing Director of Lacura Botswana. In this episode Lucy speaks to Raluca Anghel Head of External Affairs at the Natural Diamond Council. They talk about incredible grass roots initiatives that are being built, about gender parity throughout the industry and the exciting environmental schemes that are being pioneered.With thanks to the wonderful Raluca Anghel from Natural Diamond CouncilSpecial thanks to Nafisa Boateng & Amie Tran Mentioned in the episodeMaryline Kekeli - How To support Black Owned BusinessesNassem LahriLivia Firth on Fashionscapes: The Diamonds of BotswanaDe Beers Mineral Carbonation Please Support The Vendeur & Join Our CommunityInstagramFacebookPinterestSeries Credits Host Lucy KebbellTheme created by Joe Murgatroyd

In this week's podcast Patrick talks to Livia Firth MBE, Co-founder and Creative Director of Eco-Age and founder of the Green Carpet Challenge (GCC). During the conversation, Patrick and Livia discuss the parallels between the social and environmental footprints of food and fashion, and how consumers can use their purchasing power to affect change and transform the fashion industry.  An important part of this transformation is an understanding of the provenance of our clothing. "Natural products have superiority over synthetic fibres" says Livia, calling herself a "huge fan of wool".

Livia Firth is the Creative Director of sustainability consultancy Eco-Age, and the founder of the Green Carpet Challenge and Green Carpet Fashion Awards. She is a UN Leader of Change, a founding member of Annie Lennox’s women’s advocacy group The Circle, and was a co-producer on Andrew Morgan’s ethical fashion documentary, The True Cost. Livia is also a warm and wonderful advocate for ethical and sustainable fashion, and an absolute treat to interview. We are so grateful to Livia for kicking off this, our brand sparkling new series 3 of the Wardrobe Crisis podcast! In Episode, Clare and Livia discuss what it means to be a fashion activist, and why the world needs more of us (yes, including you!). We cover the big stuff - garment worker dignity, living wages, social justice - and the glitzy stuff - influencers, social media and the power of fashion to change stories. Livia shares about her childhood growing up in Italy in a pre-fast fashion world, being “a ballbreaker” and starting a business with her brother. She reveals how her eco fashion quest began: when her husband Colin Firth was up for a Best Actor Oscar for his role in the Tom Ford movie A Single Man - dressing “eco” gave her a role to play. And she explains how that first challenge grew and flowered into something truly extraordinary that has seen Eco-Age become one of the biggest players in sustainable fashion.

Je suis Chloé Cohen votre hôte et je reçois Clara Sharma. Clara vit dans l’Upper East Side à New York, le quartier mythique des séries Sex and the City ou Gossip Girl, avec ses boutiques de luxe. Clara fait un peu office d’exception dans ce quartier, car elle milite pour une mode différente. Nous nous sommes installées dans son salon pour parler de son parcours et de son quotidien de jeune entrepreneuse. Elle m’a raconté comment New York a bouleversé sa façon de voir les choses. Il y a encore quelques années, Clara était une fashion victim, elle était obsédée par la mode. Mais en décembre dernier elle a décidé de lancer son site Iconable. Une plateforme pour vendre des vêtements éco-responsables et surtout un endroit pour faire connaître la mode éthique et pour alerter sur les dangers de l’industrie textile. Clara est avocate de formation, elle est passionnée par les droits de l’homme. On l’entend dans notre conversation, elle pourrait en parler pendant des heures. Avec frénésie, sensibilité, honnêteté, son discours m’a touchée et m’a fait réfléchir, alors j’espère que vous aussi en l’écoutant, vous en apprendrez plus sur l’industrie de la mode, et que peut-être vous changerez, ne serait-ce qu’un petit peu, votre façon de voir un t-shirt ou une robe.

She is an authority on the environmental and social footprint of the global fashion industry through her book To Die For: Is Fashion Wearing out the World and as producer of The True Cost, the Netflix feature documentary.
