Who Are You Wearing?

Aja Barber: on clothes, consumerism and compassion


Listen Later

Writer, stylist and consultant Aja Barber joins Kiri. Exceptionally well-dressed and exceedingly wise, Aja shares knowledge of her mastermind subject: the intersection of fashion and sustainability. Aja revels in the glory days of 90s Esprit, praises slow fashion and intentional shopping, and argues that all kids should be taught to sew in school. Aja tells Kiri what drove her to give up fast fashion for good, and how she gradually acquired a designer wardrobe via a combination of tactics and patience. We stan!

Aja's new book 'Consumed' is available now from your local bookseller.
