EP. 18 Making Fashion Circular Again with Lynn Wilson

Common Threads

Can fashion really be ethical unless it's circular? This week, we're chatting with circularity expert, Lynn Wilson, about why fashion needs to be a 'closed-loop system', and why we should value access over ownership. Lynn explains the reality of textile recycling and zero-waste design, how we as consumers can get more circular, and what fashion has in common with space exploration (yes, really!).

Follow Lynn on Twitter and Instagram, and watch her TedTalk: Circular Fashion. What's your Moonshot?

Read Sophie Benson's article on ASOS's (not) circular collection, and visit the Ellen MacArthur Foundation for more information on circularity.
