It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Gordon and SL start this week's episode with a conversation about the season for shopping, and how that often brings up discussions of waste, fast fashion and 'unconscious consumerism'.

Esther takes us behind the scenes of the industry, from first sketch to clothing rails, and talks about the struggle of being a Northerner trying to get into the fashion world! Esther's journey from assistant buyer a Barbour to a successful entrepreneur with a purpose at the coalface of change in the industry is an incredible one.

Hear about her reaction to being told way too many times "well, that's the nature of fashion" and instead asking the question "what happens when you empower people?".

Esther is an inspiration and we're thrilled to be able to share her story, her learnings and her encouragement to our community this week!
