ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Renting, swapping, reselling, repairing, upcycling - the fashion industry is making major shifts to embrace circular, sustainable models. This didn't happen overnight though, it's taken trailblazers and visionaries to build communities, businesses and platforms that make consuming fashion in a sustainable way easier and accessible for all.
In this episode host, Jade McSorley, invites her bestie and cofounder of sustainable fashion community LOANHOOD, Lucy Hall, to talk all things circular fashion. Lucy and Jade's long lasting friendship began when Jade became a fashion model after being on Britian's Next Top Model and Lucy was her booker for jobs.
Being immersed in the industry and seeing the detrimental effects fashion is having on our planet, Jade wanted to do something about it. She pitched her idea of LOANHOOD to Lucy, and soon after they started hosting swap shops around London and building a strong community online and in real life.
Lucy previously ran her own farm-to-fork restaurant in central London which is when she became passionate about living more sustainably. Her experience from the fashion industry and skills from running a restaurant created the perfect recipe for success when moving into the sustainable fashion space.
This conversation will help listeners understand why circular fashion just makes sense and is particularly relatable for those working to create a more sustainable economy and future ♻
