Welcome back to Easy Being Green? Lessons in Sustainable Business. This is episode seven and I am chatting to Esther Knight, who is the co-founder & CEO of the sustainable fashion house, Fanfare Label.

In this episode, Charli and Esther cover the topics of:

• Where the mainstream fashion industry has been going wrong, and why Esther - who used to work in the mainstream fashion industry, decided to leave it behind to first work with Vivienne Westwood, and eventually go on to cofound Fanfare Label.


• How Esther embeds the UN's Sustainable Development Goals into Fanfare Label's business values.


• The involvement the fashion industry has on modern slavery, and the importance of ensuring the wellbeing of workers, and how Fanfare Label does that.


• The best way to buy clothes sustainably, and what to look for to make sure your items of clothing in your wardrobe could be in there for the next 20 years.


• Esther's predictions for the fashion industry in the next 5, 10, 20 years.

And of course, we asked Esther the question we ask all our guests - is there such a thing as a truly sustainable business, yet?
