Delving into Slow Fashion with Designer Amanda Butten, Founder of the Sustainable Fashion Brand “Bonkers Bon Coeur” 💚🥐💌
☀️ 🏖️ Happy Summer, #TUCPodcast🌱🎙️listeners! I’m super excited & pleased to bring you all a brand new episode with our next guest, Amanda Butten - the founder of the slow fashion label, “Bonkers Bon Coeur” based in London. Launched in 2025, Amanda creates truly sustainable, ethical and made-to-order clothing inspired by her love of "timeless" vintage fashion and fashion silhouettes, 1960’s vintage clothing and films 👗. As the name of her brand suggests, “Bonkers Bon Coeur” seeks to combine the “effortlessly chic” Parisian style with “London’s playful and bold eccentricity” - using gingham as her primary material - she mixes her love for these two cities (+ their styles and street styles) 🥖💂🇬🇧
💫 On this episode, we speak all about: How Amanda launched her fashion line, up-cycling 🌳, what slow fashion truly means, clothing and fashion history, the inspiration behind using gingham as her primary material [i.e. from "Dorothy's"/Judy Garland’s blue gingham dress in “The Wizard of Oz” (1939), Brigitte Bardot’s pink gingham wedding dress to "Barbie's"/Margot Robbie’s recreation of this prior iconic ensemble in the “Barbie," (2023) 🎬]. We also talk Parisian style, notable London fashion brands like “Biba” [i.e. the original “fast fashion” store/label], famous 1960’s womenswear designer Mary Quant as well as how Amanda strives to make sustainable fashion and slow fashion “the norm” 🌿🫶
👉 [LISTEN TO/AT 27:38 for a tutorial on how to wear her iconic, chequered scarves] 🧣🕶️
🎧Now streaming on all platforms: Spotify, Apple Music (and Anchor)
