362. Clare Press Asks "Wear Next" As We Talk Fashion Into The Future

Low Tox Life

Clare Press has a way with fashion, a way with words and a passion for finding the threads required to weave a new story for fashion and clothes into the future with her new book “Wear Next” - a fashion world that is kind, just, regenerative, innovative and inclusive - ditching the dark underbelly of exploitation and microplastic-filled materials currently at play in most stores around the world.

We explore

• How buying less, upping quality and reusing clothes and fabrics in fashion can practically play out and not lead to job losses en masse
• We explore what's changed - has fashion's sustainability got worse or better?
• How can we create a more ethical and sustainable fashion future?
• What is the role of technology in fashion’s future?
• The divide between celebrity ‘art’ fashion and everyday people’s choices
• Why did you write this new book, focused on solutions?
• The challenge of books and important work in a fast-info, head-linings-only world

I also read the first couple of pages of Clare’s book in the intro for you to get a taste of the book's journey and now want to start a new career in audiobook reading - it was so fun!

I hope you enjoy it and remember - buy books. They matter - authors are awesome!
