  • I don't understand art

    'Seriously? .... even I could make that' is a commom (perhaps misguided) thought that crosses many of our minds when we look at some pieces of art. In todays episode I explore that feeling and discuss my thoughts on contemporary art.

    My favourite pieces:

  • Can you buy fast fashion and be sustainable?

    'it's the overconsumption, stupid'.

    Can you still buy fast fashion and be sustainable?

    Where does the need to buy so much things come from?

    In today's episode I talk about fashion sustainability and discuss the conclusions I've come to so we can all practically engage in ethical consumption.

    (I'm not at all a sustainability guru but hopefully making this episode will help me stay more accountable and we can all learn from it!)
