Aja Barber is a writer, stylist and consultant based in London. Her work centers around fashion and all its intersections (feminism, race, colonialism, sustainability and ethics).
In this episode, Aja goes into detail about why fashion is best when it's sustainable and inclusive. What does it mean to be sustainable? What does it mean to be inclusive? What is slow fashion? What is ethical fashion? Aja breaks it all down for us, sharing how and why she ditched fast fashion herself and providing tons of tips and resources for us to do the same.
As you might know if you follow me on Instagram I am deep in the process of re-thinking my own style and building a sustainable capsule wardrobe from scratch. Being a paying member of Aja's Patreon community has helped enormously—seriously, I learn something from her almost every single day—and this conversation with her felt like the ultimate gift. I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did!
