The Sustainable Fashion Wingman

🎙️ Have you caught up with our cycling episode? I got to talk with Paul Skevington, founder of the start-up cycling brand PARIETTI, about his goal to provide cyclists with a more sustainable option of cyclewear. We hear of Paul’s background from his origins in the UK to his family’s relocation to Spain where he found the inspiration for Parietti. In Paul’s words, cyclewear has a polyester problem, so we hear how Parietti is addressing the overuse of virgin polyester. 🎧 Listen in to learn more about Paul’s passion for circularity and how he is determined to build “a Patagonia for cycling” at the links below! 👇🏽 Online: https://lnkd.in/eGeZnFqW Apple: https://lnkd.in/eEzBVAZC Spotify: https://lnkd.in/dBsTdiEw #Fashion #SustainableFashion #FashionPodcast #CircularFashion #Cycling #Cyclewear

🎙️ If you haven't caught up on this wonderful conversation, now's the time! I had the pleasure of diving into the world of a sustainable fashion trailblazer in this episode of The Sustainable Fashion Wingman podcast. Talking with Marci Zaroff, a visionary who coined the term "eco-fashion" back in the 90s. Marci's journey, starting in the organic food sector, seamlessly transitioned into fashion where she has become a powerhouse on the eco-fashion scene with a “greenhouse” of eco brands. Marci talks about the mission of her brands, YES AND, Farm to Home, her manufacturing hub METAWEAR, what it was like to be a published author with her book "(eco)renaissance," and the critical role of regenerative agriculture in her work. Marci's also shares her involvement in shaping industry standards like GOTs and her role as Chair of the Textile Exchange. We also explored YESand's approach to climate action and championing sustainable cotton, along with Marci’s ambitious, regenerative agriculture project "Reset Cotton”. Marci shares her inspiration and vision for the future of sustainable fashion, one that should be looked at in terms of health for us and the planet. As well as offering valuable advice to businesses aspiring to embrace sustainability. 🎧 Listen in on your favourite podcast platform or at these links… Online: https://lnkd.in/eGeZnFqW Apple: https://lnkd.in/e9CaMgW7 Spotify: https://lnkd.in/ex3VDneZ #Fashion #SustainableFashion #Sustainability #Retail #Podcast
