Podcast: Australian Designer Charlotte Hicks on Sustainability in the Fashion Industry... (#7)
This is an insightful podcast interview featuring Charlotte Hicks, designer and founder of Esse Studios, an Australian clothing label creating conscious editions of refined and sustainable capsule wardrobes for the modern woman.
Charlotte reflects on the role of businesses in this day and age, and their responsibility to design and produce sustainable clothing. She believes that everyone should be undergoing their own due diligence, and it’s ultimately “about working together to educate each other, staying nimble and reacting to what’s going on, constantly re-evaluate if there’s a better way of doing things…”
Charlotte Hicks and Alison Rice also raise the interesting point that “what you wear becomes a statement of your own belief systems” and say something about you as an individual, which is ultimately a form of wearable activism, promoting the values of the clothing labels you wear.
