Jonathan Ohanyon

🎧 Welcome Back Legends! 🎧

In today’s episode of the Plant Fuelled Podcast, we’re peeling back the layers on a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough attention—the dark side of the fashion industry. I’m sitting down with Jonathan Ohayon, the author of The Fashion Industry Doesn’t Want You to Read This Book, and trust me, this conversation is about to change the way you think about the clothes you wear.

Jonathan is a trailblazer in ethical fashion and the founder of The F.A.K.E. Movement (Fashion for Animal Kingdom & Environment). He’s been on a mission to expose the shocking truths that the fashion industry would rather keep hidden. From the appalling reality of “genuine leather” sometimes being made from dogs to the harsh chemicals used to create leather products—it’s not just about avoiding fur, silk, and leather anymore. There’s so much more to the story.

What We Discuss:

• The shocking truth about leather: Did you know some leather products have been traced back to dog leather? We dive into how this is even possible and the real cost of that “genuine leather” tag.

• The process behind silk production: It’s far from cruelty-free, and Jonathan sheds light on the impact the industry has on animals and the environment.

• Fast fashion’s devastating impact: Ever wonder how online retailers churn out cheap clothing so quickly? We’ll explore the horrifying conditions workers face, the knock-on effects for the environment, and the human cost of these low prices.

• The chemicals behind leather production: You’ll learn that leather isn’t just animal skin—it’s also loaded with toxic chemicals. The environmental and health impacts are staggering.

• Shocking DNA tests on cheap products: Jonathan shares jaw-dropping results from tests conducted on budget fashion items, revealing what they’re really made of—and it’s not pretty.

• The sustainability of vegan fashion: Is it as eco-friendly as we think? We take a critical look at some vegan fashion practices and ask the big question: Are these alternatives really sustainable, or do we need to make bigger changes?

Jonathan is also the American Ambassador for “Shop Like You Give a Damn”, the world’s largest ethical marketplace, and this episode is packed with insights that will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about ethical fashion.

🌿 Is Vegan Fashion Always Sustainable? 🌿
We don’t stop at just animal welfare—we dig deeper into whether vegan fashion is truly sustainable. Jonathan shares his thoughts on how some plant-based alternatives may still fall short of environmental sustainability, and we explore what it really takes to make ethical, eco-conscious choices.

🔥 Get ready for an eye-opening, jaw-dropping conversation that will leave you questioning not only what you wear, but how it affects animals, people, and the planet.
