Manage episode 431928903 series 3402161
“Buy less, choose well, make it last” are the words of Vivenne Westwood that have paved the way for sustainable fashion. But how exactly are we to make our clothes last? This week on On the House: The Household Management Science Insights Podcast, host Gabriella Joustra chats with textile designer Vanessa Mardirossian for insider knowledge on how to wash, store, and care for clothes.
With 20 years of experience working in the fashion industry across haute couture, ready-to-wear, fast fashion, and trend studio sectors, Vanessa is a textile designer, textile design educator, and PhD candidate hailing from Nice, France. Her research explores the development of non-toxic dyes with a focus on textile ecoliteracy, aiming to avoid textile toxicity at the early stages.
In this episode, Vanessa shares her research into textile toxicity and how it affects not just us as individuals, but also communities and the environment. On top of that, she discusses what to look out for when shopping, and why shopping is not always the answer.
Together, Gabriella and Vanessa chat about DIY solutions, from spicing up your clothing with natural dyes, to creating your own soap. So, tune in today for an invigorating conversation teeming with expert insights and exciting clothing care ideas!
