Welcome back to the final instalment of Changemakers. Today’s episode is another live one, recorded last year September at the Lone Design Club pop up store on London’s Regent Street.
We often ask the question, “can fashion ever be truly sustainable?” According to BBC futures, more of us now understand that the fashion industry accounts for about 10% of global carbon emissions, and nearly 20% of wastewater. And while the environmental impact of flying is now well known, fashion uses more energy than both aviation and shipping combined.”
LDC was founded in 2018 and signals the start of a critical shift towards more responsible patterns of consumption in the fashion industry and beyond. Aligning our spending to our values has never been more important.
The ability to unite innovators and creators championing environmental and social sustainability in this space is a testament to the LDC community’s hard work and purpose-driven mission.
Describing themselves as the antidote to fast fashion, Lone Design Club was founded as the result of emerging international fashion + lifestyle brands uniting with like-minded businesses in rising up, taking control and shaping the future of retail. Today’s guest is Shanna Bent, the Founder and Designer of conscious fashion brand Maison Bent with a key mission of championing diversity. An alumna of Central Saint Martins and London College of Fashion, she strengthened her product development skills at Roland Mouret and PR knowledge at Agent Provocateur before becoming Branding Coordinator at St. Pancras Chambers Collections. Having launched Maison Bent in 2020, she has since been quoted in Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, CR Fashion Book, Vogue Italia and more.
