Getting dressed every morning is a political act says this weeks guest, fashion designer Ramon Martin. With Ryan Lobo, his label TOME is known for collaborating with, and taking inspiration from, female artists. Hear how they looked to the GUERRILLA GIRLS for a show inspired by the WOMEN'S MARCHES and the TRUMP administration's attacks on Planned Parenthood.

How can high fashion combine the pursuit of gorgeousness with serious messages about diversity and equality? What role does the runway have to play? In this Episode, we discuss fashion activism, sustainability, TOME’s White Shirt Project and winning fans like Amal Clooney, EMMA WATSON and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Getting dressed every morning is a political act. What you wear makes a statement about who you want to be and how you wish to communicate with the world around you. What’s your wardrobe saying?

THIS is what you need to know about our plastic problem. In this Episode, scientist Dr. Jennifer Lavers tells the story of her research on remote HENDERSON ISLAND in the South Pacific and its debris-littered beaches. What happens to plastic when it enters our waters? What’s the deal with bioaccumulation? What are MICROPLASTICS & why are they linked to the fashion industry? How can we turn the story of ocean plastic around?

You know those teachers who you never forget? The ones who ignite a passion for a particular subject in you that changes the course of your life? Timo is one of those. Former Assistant Professor of Fashion Design and Sustainability at PARSONS NEW YORK, he is now associate professor and course director of Fashion and Textiles at UTS in Sydney.

He is an expert in ZERO-WASTE FASHION DESIGN, as well as a cross-stitch artist currently stitching a letter to humanity to be read 100 years from now. Oh, and he's a birdwatcher…

Timo teaches his students to rethink traditional ways of approaching design to consider the entire lifecycle of a garment, and factor in reducing waste from the outset. But it’s not just about cutting waste from initial design...of the BILLIONS of GARMENTS produced each year, up to one third are never sold. Much of this surplus is destroyed.

In this Episode, Timo argues that we must conquer our cynicism and use our CREATIVITY to find solutions. THE FASHION INDUSTRY, which he describes a ‘seemingly grotesque, wasteful, deadly’, is also a source of endless possibility.

Let's tackle ocean plastics, shall we? Marine biologist model Laura Wells is an ambassador for Greenpeace, 1 Million Women and Take 3 for the Sea, and divides her time between advocating for our imperilled oceans and working as one of Australia’s top body positive models.

Why did a woman with two degrees, who thought modelling was “a waste of time”, decide to embrace life in front of the lens? What’s the deal with the ‘plus-size’ label? Why should we all get out more and embrace our WILD SPACES? You’re going to love listening to Laura explain her journey from ‘animal-not-loving’ Sydney kid to butt-kicking SAVIOUR OF OUR SEAS and land-based natural environments. You’re going to love Laura full stop. Unless you’ve got a single-use plastics habit.
