Fashion is often down played as something frivolous and shallow but this week's guest proves this is far from true.

For the majority of us sustainability in fashion is something we learn however for fashion designer Abbie James its something that has been ingrained in her personality from her upbringing.

Her love of fashion and sustainability led to the creation of her beautiful self named clothing label.

In this weeks episode we chat about her long running family history of creating your own clothes, how timeless silhouette's are classics for a reason and how some vintage pieces just love to cling on to that very distinct vintage smell!

She shares the stories of accidentally looking like superman whilst out running, the literal blood, sweat and tears that went into making her own wedding dress and how you should never follow fashion trends.
