Must Listen: The Wardrobe Crisis

A weekly fashion podcast that serves up all the ins and outs of sustainability, ethical fashion, and making a difference in the world on a silver platter. What more could you ask for? Clare Press is the answer! The author and journalist—who, by the way, was the first sustainability editor at Vogue—hosts The Wardrobe Crisis podcast.

Each week, Clare invites a different expert from the sustainable fashion world, covering various topics like labor rights and ethical production, climate change, innovative solutions, consumer awareness, and social justice and inclusivity. These diverse topics make the podcast unique, showing that sustainable fashion is not a singular concept but a web of interconnected ideas. That’s the beauty of this podcast—each episode surprises you with a guest or topic you may not have considered before.

Some notable guests include fashion designer Stella McCartney, sustainability advocate Livia Firth, writer and activist Aja Barber, Fashion Revolution co-founder Orsola de Castro, and environmentalist and scholar Dr. Vandana Shiva.

The mission of The Wardrobe Crisis podcast is to spark conversations about sustainability, ethics, and social justice within the fashion industry. It aims to raise awareness of the environmental and human costs of fast fashion, encouraging listeners to rethink their consumption habits. The podcast showcases alternatives to fast fashion and advocates for conscious choices in various ways. Additionally, it challenges unsustainable industry norms—from production to waste—and calls for systemic change. The show inspires more ethical purchasing and promotes inclusivity and diversity within fashion.

In short, it’s a must-listen for anyone seeking a well-rounded view of fashion and sustainability.
