Fashion, clothing, shoes, accessories .... we all buy them, use them, and dispose of them. But what are the environmental and human impacts of this? And as much as marketing loves to sell it - can the fashion industry ever be truely sustainable? In this ep, Tessa sits down with sustainable supply chain expert Kelly Elkin. Having previously co-founded online store Well Made Clothes, as well the Australian Ethical Fashion Association - Clean Cut, Kelly has been on the forefront of sustainable fashion in Australia for decades, helping both emerging and established brands build strategies driven by social and environmental impact. Currently, she's focusing her efforts on implementing emerging technology and sustainability measures at the long-running surf label Piping Hot. The pair get chatting about the environmental and human costs of the fashion industry. The pros and cons of natural materials, the synthetic takeover, transparent supply chains & the possibility of a circular economy, and the most sustainable way to stay cute whilst not being naked ;) This season is proudly supported by Spooked Kooks Surfboards, For Purpose Recycling and Camp Cove Swim.
