This month features a special Explorations profile of Bethany Williams, Fashion Designer, recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II award and sustainability consultant, as well as an activist exploring the connection between communities and social and environmental issues. Williams’ focus on urgent socio-political issues feeds into how she approaches life in the world of fashion, manufacturing garments that are sustainable both in terms of the means of production and as an economic model.

Bethany Williams, Fashion Designer: “I think the best part of creativity is the part that is unexpected, and I feel like that happens a lot when you collaborate. Because when taking two people from different fields, anything can happen.”
