Fashion- Not all as it seams Bingepods

Join Joanna and Emma for the final episode of Fashion not all as it Seams. The last two seasons have been such an amazing experience for us all and we feel really privileged to have hosted such wonderful guests and humbled by the positive feedback to Season 1 and 2. Sadly, we have decided that for the moment this is the end of the podcast. We have found that coordinating 4 co-hosts whilst growing our own businesses has been a challenge and that for now, we need to focus on our individual goals. We continue to support each other's work and are so grateful to have had the chance to create this together.

Today Emma interviews our very own co-host Ngaire Takano!



Ngaire is untraditional and unorthodox. She leads with values and conviction and deeply cares about sheep, farmers, circularity, traceability and nature She’s been an activist since she was 10 years old - campaigning against deforestation of local rainforests on the east coast of Australia, at 12 years old she helped support a local against a proposed irradiation plant for food - the information she gathered - pre internet- helped support the campaign which led to it not being build locally, , at 15 she was worked on a Merino sheep farm learning the trade and at 16 she started her own business supplying local restaurants with organic and locally grown ingredients.



She really is a living, breathing example of how business should be done. This is the blueprint. But actually, more than that, this is who Ngaire is at a soul level. It’s literally in her blood.



So what, quite literally started as a conversation with sheep and geese a couple of years ago on a farm in Belgium is now at an accelerator stage - we hear about the problems that come with the ideology that is scaling and funding. Yet such is the interest with this business centered around sheep, farmers and wool that Ngaire will be taking it to international stages very soon. And not only is there interest from the fashion and interiors sector but also automobile and packaging. There is so much potential here.



It’s pure innovation AND from the heart.



A business where reciprocity, circularity and connection are at its core. And women owned. We need more Ngaire’s in the world.

In part 2’s of Emma’s interview with Farah Al Yasin, Head of Creative Residency at Caravane Earth Farah talks about the work in ensuring the traditional skills and knowledge of Al Sadu weaving is being passed onto younger generations. She shares a success story of one particular daughter who, through her mother’s work, saw that these textiles were providing an income, had commercial incentive and is now learning these skills. Farah talks us through how she is shaped by the artisans, how she is their student and how it’s not solely the textiles or weaving but a way of life. To her it’s a vocational school and the hierarchy comes from them. We discuss the importance of continuing traditional craft whilst also understanding contemporary demand and what is relevant in today’s landscape and Farah takes us through what a partnership with a designer or brand would look like with the artisans of Caravane Earth.

In this very special episode Emma interviews Farah Al Yasin, Head of Creative Residency at Caravane Earth, a Foundation in Qatar that promotes Social, Cultural and Ecological transformation. Farah works with 49 Bedouin women weavers and shares how the values and mission of the Foundation drew her to this work, how this work goes beyond the individual and is part of something significant. A movement for people with purpose. She takes us through the need to return to a simple approach to creation and how Caravane Earth are not reinventing the wheel, rather they are retrieving traditional knowledge and skills and paying tribute to makers and artisans. And how going into the local community has enabled this retrieval and how it has also created a local, transparent and readily available value chain.
