"Nothing New Under the Sun": Fundudzi’s Circular Fashion Statement

Is "new" actually better, or are we just ignoring the beauty of what already exists? 🧵 This afternoon, Zweli is joined by the legendary Craig Jacobs, founder of Fundudzi, who is making a triumphant return to SA Fashion Week after a 10-year hiatus. Craig is breaking down his powerful new collection, ‘There’s Nothing New Under the Sun’, which challenges our obsession with fast fashion. This isn't just about clothes; it's about a "circular" approach to life. Craig shares the heart-tugging story behind his collaboration with Woodrock Animal Rescue, where he repurposed pre-loved pieces and offcuts into high-fashion art. From his days as a journalist to becoming SA’s first Fashion Innovation Award winner, Craig discusses why we need to value the stories behind our garments and move toward a more mindful, sustainable wardrobe. It’s fashion with a soul and a few paws involved, too! Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.   Hear what the Word on the Street is, test your skills with the high-pressure 6 Out of 6, and get ready to be entertained.    Thank you for listening to an Afternoons with Zweli podcast   Listen live on Primedia+ weekdays from 12:00 to 15:00 (SA Time) to Afternoons with Zweli broadcast on 947 https://www.primediaplus.com/station/947   For more from the show go to https://buff.ly/FeeL6wY or find all the catch-up podcasts here https://buff.ly/pRBikjo   Subscribe to the 947 Weekly Newsletter here https://buff.ly/hf9IuR9   Follow us on social media      947 on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/947Joburg/   947 on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@947joburg   947 on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/947joburg   947 on X https://x.com/947    947 on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@947Joburg  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
