Style & Revolution with Hadeel Osman | Fashion Revolution Sudan

In the first episode of season 4, we kick off a conversation around Fashion Revolution because it is fashion revolution week. This year we will be focusing on Fashion Revolution Sudan with Hadeel Osman, a multi-disciplinary artist and visionary pulling her various cultural influences into her activism. Nominated in Forbes Africa’s 30 under 30 in 2020 for her multi-disciplinary studio: DAVU Studio, a consultancy that fuses design, art, education and sustainability.

In this episode, I talk to Ria Ana Sejpal, founder and brilliant creative behind Kenyan brand LilaBare. We dive into the creative process of a designer who creates at the heart of community. She recounts how it took almost three years to find the right banana farmer to develop a unique banana fibre and how she works with nuns who crochet love and light into the brand's pieces. Ria brings her village into the creation of her collections.

Oye Adie Yie - Thoughts On Cultural Sustainability

We collaborated with the amazing team at Bed Stuy Clothes swap, a community-based safety net for NYC residents. We helped them create an educational platform weaving circular fashion principles from Ghana into conversations and games about the fashion industry for their clothes swap event at the Brooklyn Museum. This resulted in the creation of this video, which was showcased within the space. It highlights the Oye Adie Yies of Accra, who are a testament to Ghana’s deeply entrenched cultural sustainability. Bed Stuy Clothes Swap collectively moves against the grain of New York’s hyper-capitalist systems that encourage over-consumption and the destruction of our environment, displace long-term community members, and exploit and subjugate Black and Brown communities.

Style & Donkafele | Africa's First Secondhand App with Mandé Mory

In this episode, we talk to Mande Mory, an entrepreneur based in Senegal and one of the founders of Africa’s first secondhand shopping app: Donkafale. But beyond a simple Depop or Vinted (no shade to those apps we love them!) this app aims to create jobs for young creatives struggling to find employment after university and allow them to connect to a community of creatives in multiple industries, online and in real life. We loved talking to Mandé because it was never just about fashion for his team. He saw a problem and created a solution which is what all great entrepreneurs do, but what was most inspiring was his heart for creating opportunities that make a difference in the everyday life of African youths while digitising and preserving cultural sustainability. Let's dig into his story. Find out more about Donkafele here: https://donkafele.com/en/ Follow here: https://www.instagram.com/donkafele/
