Fashion is a £28.1 billion industry. British people buy an average of 27kg of clothing per person each year producing roughly 1.2billion tonnes of carbon dioxide.
We'll be exploring the history of fashion’s relationship with nature, and some of the solutions to rebalancing our love for clothes with our transition to a more sustainable world.
