After achieving his PHD in Public Health Dr Brett Staniland did something crazy, he shifted his career to fashion, bringing his academic love of a fancy fact with him. Today, the 30-year-old model, activist and identical twin is on a mission to inspire the Love Island generation to make positive change - and, so far, he’s nailing it. 

Thanks to Brett’s subtle activism while appearing on the show, Love Island dropped their fast fashion sponsors for eBay, sparking a culture shift towards pre-loved clothes, but that’s not enough for Brett. 

In this conversation, Melanie and Brett talk about the desire for impact, how to stay focussed on your purpose and why long-term wins are always better than quick fixes.

Along the way Brett opens up about online abuse, his working-class Derbyshire roots, and why his favourite item of clothing is a women’s suit by Lemaire - for himself!  

And Brett shares how to build the perfect men’s wardrobe and prescribes a new way to shop - best of all, with his approach, everyone wins.
