26 Sept, 16.00 - Carry Somers, The Nature of Fashion: A Botanical Story of Our Material Lives
An author, changemaker, and social entrepreneur, Carry Somers' work connects the worlds of fashion, nature, and creativity. She co-founded Fashion Revolution, the world’s largest fashion activism movement, and founded Pachacuti, the world’s first Fair Trade certified company and a pioneer of supply chain transparency. Her work has influenced industries worldwide, from championing artisans to investigating microfibre pollution to exploring the future of plant fibres and dyes as a Churchill Fellow. Her book The Nature of Fashion (Chelsea Green, September 25) explores the entwined histories of plants and textiles, uncovering the threads that have shaped our world and the choices defining our material future.
Carry will be in conversation with Bijan Omrani.
