Sustainable Fashion Week has teamed up with presenter Louise Gookey to launch a podcast series exploring our relationship with fashion and how we can positively reconnect with how we buy, wear, care and dispose of our clothing.

In this first episode Louise interviews Dr Brett Staniland, exploring his fascinating journey from scientist to model to TV star to becoming a powerful voice calling for change in the fashion industry.

Brett is a model turned sustainable fashion campaigner. He’s an advocate for a slower, more responsible fashion industry and works across many platforms to raise awareness and educate consumers as an expert in the field. In 2021 he became the first contestant on Love Island to reject the fast fashion sponsorship and helped influence the shift toward preloved clothing. Whilst still modelling he also works as a creator, editor, consultant and speaker, covering issues in the fashion industry, innovative solutions and the fashion week circuits. 

Louise Gookey is TV and radio presenter, reporter and sustainability advocate. Sustainability became a passion of Louise’s after learning how fast fashion impacted the environment. This led to a curiosity in consumerism and exploring ways we can spend without destroying our planet. Louise has presented for the likes of BBC Good Food, Spotlight TV, Showcase TV and Property TV, and hosted award shows like The National Film Awards, World Fashion Awards, Digital Education Awards and National Reality TV Awards.
