Re:Fashion (Vintage Style and Future Thinking)
Notes de l’épisode
Fashion plays a huge part in climate change and staggering amounts of textile waste are created every year. It can be difficult to know where to start, and what will really make a difference, when trying to break out of the cycle of fast fashion and poorly made, disposable clothes.
So, on this episode, Meghann is joined by two guests approaching sustainable fashion from different angles.
Aoife McNamara is the founder of her own hugely successful fashion label, which was Ireland's first B Corp certified fashion house. Aoife’s clothes are made to last and sustainability is at the centre of what she’s doing.
Cian Charlton runs 35 Vintage, a vintage clothes shop on Fade Street in Dublin. Cian’s business has grown from selling his own clothes online, to a shop in a former nightclub in Mayo, to his current premises in the centre of Dublin.
Meghann chats to Aoife and Cian about their businesses, the future of the fashion industry, and steps we can all take to tackle textile waste and make fashion a far more circular industry.
