Sustainable Fashion Week has teamed up with presenter Louise Gookey to launch a podcast series exploring our relationship with fashion and how we can positively reconnect with how we buy, wear, care and dispose of our clothing.In this bonus episode Louise chairs a LIVE panel discussion which took place during our podcast launch event, hosted at Lots Road Auctions. The panel was titled 'One Person's Treasure: the value of vintage and how it can save us'. Louise explored how switching to secondhand can be the easiest and most meaningful way of making our personal fashion habits more sustainable. In the session Louise was in conversation with Amelia Twine (Founder, Sustainable Fashion Week), Tasha Nickson (Soil Association Certification) and Nicole Akong (upcycling advocate and Great British Sewing Bee finalist).Louise Gookey is TV and radio presenter, reporter and sustainability advocate. Sustainability became a passion of Louise’s after learning how fast fashion impacted the environment. This led to a curiosity in consumerism and exploring ways we can spend without destroying our planet. Louise has presented for the likes of BBC Good Food, Spotlight TV, Showcase TV and Property TV, and hosted award shows like The National Film Awards, World Fashion Awards, Digital Education Awards and National Reality TV Awards.  Hosted on Acast.
