Kiri speaks to conversion designer, sustainable fashion activist and founder of Converted Closet, Kate McGuire. Kate tells Kiri how a childhood fascination with Cindy dolls and Bunty magazine evolved into a celebrated career in clothes conversion, turning cherished second-hand pieces into high-end couture collections. Kiri and Kate talk post-pandemic values, the problem of perfectionism, and clothing as an armour or a comfort.
