A big reality check - a chat with Emma Matthews, author of the book 'How to Quit Fast Fashion' - a podcast by Emma Khan

The Fashion industry is one of the biggest polluters of our environment. With each new season comes a new fashion faze, producing more and more clothes which we wear once or twice and then stick at the back of our wardrobes. According to The State of Fashion, a report by McKinsey.com, Fashion accounts for 20% to 35% of microplastic flows in the oceans, along with 93% of brands surveyed on Fashion Checker, that are not paying their workers a living wage. I spoke to Emma Matthews, owner of sustainable sock company Socko and author of the book ‘How to quit fast fashion’. If you’re a fashion lover and care about the world you live in, you will probably want listen in to get some inspiration, as it’s time to start making some changes to your lifestyle.
