Fashion Veteran and entrepreneur Eleanor Turner explores the unseen consequences of the modern apparel industry. Drawing on years of experience, Eleanor unpacks the concept of disposability of cheap clothing. We will learn about the pervasive use of synthetic fibers like polyester and the largely unchecked chemical-intensive processes to manufacture them. This results is the hidden poisons that enter both our wardrobes and the environment.
From microplastics to the culture of disposability, this lecture reveals how Fast Fashion has reshaped not only the industry but also our health, our closets, and the planet. It will discuss what a more conscious future for clothing might look like.
Eleanor Turner has designed and produced clothing for major brands and her own at Argent and The Big Favorite.
