EP. 18 Making Fashion Circular Again with Lynn Wilson
Listen now
Description
Can fashion really be ethical unless it's circular? This week, we're chatting with circularity expert, Lynn Wilson, about why fashion needs to be a 'closed loop system', and why we should value access over ownership. Lynn explains the reality of textile recycling and zero-waste design, how we as consumers can get more circular, and what fashion has in common with space exploration (yes, really!). Follow Lynn on Twitter and Instagram, and watch her TedTalk: Circular Fashion. What's your Moonshot? Read Sophie Benson's article on ASOS's (not) circular collection, and visit the Ellen MacArthur Foundation for more information on circularity.  For more updates on the ethical fashion conversation, follow Common Threads on Instagram, like us on Facebook, and join the conversation on Twitter.
