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 episode Louise is in conversation with Patrick Grant, the founder of Community Clothing and a judge on the Great British Sewing Bee!

Patrick has a lot to say about clothes; how many we buy, how we value them, what they’re made from, and importantly who made them and where. His campaigning clothes brand Community Clothing supports local clothing and textile manufacturers across the UK and Patrick is an outspoken advocate for radical change in the fashion industry. He is a regular on TV and Radio being best known for his role on the hit BBC series The Great British Sewing Bee. His new book LESS was published by Harper Collins in May 2024 and was an instant Sunday Times bestseller!

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.
