    January 7, 2019

    Doubtless, you’ll have noticed it’s 2019 now. That came round quickly didn’t it? 2018 was an enormous year for sustainability (more on that below) and, if things go right, 2019 might just be even bigger…

    The Clothes I Look at Online Need to Back Off, TBH

    September 20, 2018

    Although ‘buy less stuff’ will probably be carved into my gravestone because I say it about as often as I blink, I don’t just spend my days sitting in a tranquil, empty white room being a pure anti-capitalist, unburdened by…

    Sustainability Has Gone Mainstream: Let’s Discuss

    August 31, 2018

    I expect, after clicking on this post, you’re expecting a comprehensive list of all things sustainable fashion. And you might well get that but, the thing is, I don’t really know. I mean, it sounds like a great idea; I’d…

    It Doesn’t #Ad Up

    June 14, 2018

    Last week I was at an award ceremony. I did not win the award I was nominated for but lucky for you I’m not here to cry about it. As I sat at my table, sweating in a 40-year-old dress…
