Description
Award-winning British fashion innovator Christopher Raeburn joins the podcast to talk about how he got involved in upcycling military surplus, creating high fashion from vintage escape maps and parachutes, how change is happening even in huge companies such as Timberland and how the spread of ideas and inspiration is as valuable as producing a saleable product. We also get into buy better/buy less, sustainability, the reuse of fibres, greenwashing and whether the high volume/low-cost business model is viable going ahead. And as a treat, we end up with The Lads, Christopher's home worm farm/food waste recycling effort.Find out more about Christopher and the various Raeburn divisions here:Christopher Raeburn InstagramRaeburn Design website / InstagramRaeburn Lab website / InstagramGarmology is researched, booked, hosted, edited, published, paid for and everything else by Nick Johannessen.
