    ✼ Season 2 ✼ EP.31: Fabrics Made From Mycellium + Lotus - Fibers From Nature Part One

    Welcome back! After a neary-exact two year slumber, the podcast has been finally revived to help you envision what fashion could look like if we change our habits from the inside out, both as consumers and businesses alike.

This will be a two-part series as there are a total of four materials we’ll be covering, these being Mycellium, Apples, Coffee and the Lotus Flower. While all of these materials come from nature, the way in which they arrive at the place of fashion are varied, some get there with the help of modern techology and science, while others require percise craftmenship that has been passed on through generations. Today we’ll be covering Mycellium and Lotus. So buckle up, and let’s dive into the world of Fibers Fashioned From Nature.

    EP29: What The Fashion Education System Is Gravely Lacking

    In this episode, I talk about my experience in the fashion education system and break down core issues that are hindering industry progress, fashion sustainability and innovation. I break things down from unsustainable teaching practices, outdated teaching methods, over-packed curriculums and more. I also spend some time discussing some of the solutions that could revolutionize the way fashion is taught and consequently, produced in a way that nurtures innovative thinking and allows the designers of the future to see human rights and sustainability as the default to start working in fashion. → All Shownotes Follow the podcast on instagram @naturspired Like the podcast? Leave a review on Google or Apple Podcasts!

    EP28: The Power of Positivity in Creating Systemic Change

    In this episode, I discuss the power of positivity in igniting action and real behavioural change. Like, you know how we're more likely to adopt a new habit in our lives if it offers a positive solution or makes our lives easier? As humans, we're psychologically wired to want positive incentives to do positive things. And solely focusing on the negative can (in some cases) actually be counterproductive to activism and can result in fear, despair and a sense of hopelessness in our communities. So how do we address talking about the real issues in fashion while also inspiring a positive response? My theory is that by approaching the issues and problems in fashion from an educational perspective, but inspiring action from a place of positivity, excitement and joy, we might be able to create a world or industry that thrives on change. Not one that views change as a tedious task that "has to be done" in order to be considered good people. → All Shownotes Follow the podcast on instagram @naturspired Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
