What was the moment you knew you had to dedicate your time to your cause?
I’ve always wanted to work in fashion and glossy magazines but it’s only when I started my masters in Fashion Journalism at London College of Fashion that I realised how harmful to people and the environment the industry really is. Suddenly, the high street lost all its glamour and buying – or telling others to buy – cheap clothes meant I was contributing to the problem. I started to learn more and more about the impact of materials and the exploitation of resources and communities that is rampant everywhere in fashion. I then decided to dedicate my career to educating other people and businesses about these issues, not in a preachy, condescending way but by showing that there are positive alternatives worth supporting that can make our production and consumption of beautiful things less harmful and more regenerative.
How do you keep motivated when it feels one step forward and two steps back?
I read about, listen and talk to the innovators and leaders that fight every day to make the world a better place, one step at a time. Nothing good comes out of despair so I try to stay hopeful and use positive storytelling to encourage people to change their habits and adopt more conscious ones.
What makes me happy is taking a sunny walk in nature, especially when there are dogs around!
What does a diamond represent to you?
It represents eternity and knowing that the Earth has the incredible capacity to heal and shine bright in any shape or form.
What would you say to Mother Nature if you could shout it up to the Sky?
Thank you for giving life and nurturing us, our fellow creatures, and every living particle. We all live under a single sky, and we need to respect and care for each other better.
Who or What are you currently most encouraged by that will help us deliver a more brilliant tomorrow for people or planet?
I love when century-old knowledge meets innovation, which gives way for the most unexpected collaborations and results. There’s so much our modern society can learn from Indigenous wisdom and crafts, and I believe that by working hand-in-hand and listening to our ancestors and nature, we will all have a more prosperous future.
