After 9 unique conversations about fashion that opened our wardrobes wide, the latest series of Down To Earth is coming to a close. From community designed clothes to mending, thrifting, and all the people involved in creating clothes, our final episode this week covers Hubbub’s work on sustainable fashion – past, present and future! 

In today’s episode hear from Hubbuber and Head of Fashion, Steph, chatting to us about our next steps in sustainable fashion once the series wraps up. We flick through the rail of Hubbub’s past fashion campaigns, sneak a peek at new campaigns we’ve got coming up this year and explore the changes we’re hopeful for in the fashion industry as a whole.  

Have you heard of Loanhood yet? 

The circular fashion platform is leading the charge in the sustainable fashion movement by offering both an app that connects people with a vast collection of upcoming designers and local outfits available for rent as well as swaps, where you can get a new wardrobe for free. This innovative approach allows people to access the latest trends without having to buy them. 

In this episode we chat to one of the founders Lucy Hall who chats through how Loanhood came to be, why she wants to make rental an everyday part of choosing outfits and what the future of sustainable fashion might look like.

Ever wanted to make your own clothes? 🧶 Community Couture is a project that brings people together to take part in designing incredible one-of-a-kind pieces. Starting in lockdown Aniela Fidler Wieruszewska invited people to send in a picture of what life looked like to them. These stories turned into a jacket that took over 600 hours to make and is now rented to people all across the UK. Their latest project invites people to be part of the process by creating embroidered shapes that answer the question ‘what matters’.🧵 

In the latest episode of Down To Earth we speak  to Aniela about experiments in sharing, how being involved in the creation of the clothes you wear might make you think differently about them and how to create a fashion that’s more about community.
