In this episode of "D Sustainability Issue” Dessie welcomes Orsola De Castro. Orsola is a pioneer in sustainable fashion and co-founder and creative director of Fashion Revolution - a global movement for transparency and accountability in the fashion industry which started in response to the Rana Plaza factory collapse in 2013. Orsola’s career began in 1997 when she founded “From Somewhere”, her label that combined sustainable thinking with using luxury designer pre-consumer waste. In 2006 she founded Estethica - the sustainability arena of London Fashion Week. Alongside revolutionising fast fashion culture, Orsola is a regular keynote speaker, educator, and mentor. Most recently, she published her first book Loved Clothes Last - How The Joy of Rewearing And Repairing Your Clothes Can Become a Revolutionary Act.
