Back in November I went to hear a talk at the V&A hosted by fair-fashion pioneers Livia Firth and Lucy Siegle entitled 'Can Fashion Change the World?' Due to a totally hectic last few months at Uni I never got round to writing anything about it but now that life has calmed down a little I’ve written a little response by way of UoN's Impact Style that can now be read online here.
It was really amazing to hear Livia and Lucy speak, and to hear first hand about the problems surrounding the fashion industry, but also the incredible progress that the two have made alongside Eco-Age and The Green Carpet Challenge. The V&A put on some amazing talks and events so keep an eye out, this one only cost £7 for a student ticket.
For anyone who wants to know more, Livia gave a similar talk for Apple as part of the Fashion In Conversation series, the podcast of which can be downloaded for free here.
Here’s what I wore to the talk: Second-hand pyjama-esque trousers and vintage bag, with Zara jumper and jacket, and Office boots.
