Episode 6: Birdsong, Behind The 'Dress In Protest' Brand, with Co-founder Sophie Slater - a podcast by Lone Design Club

"2021 is the year to be upfront and hold people accountable"

Lone Design Club's founder Rebecca Morter is joined by co-founder Sophie Slater of activist, dress in protest womenswear brand, Birdsong.

Sophie shares her journey and thoughts in starting one of the most iconic sustainable and ethical brands of our time. From the early days of being scouted to model, witnessing first hand the industries flaws, unethical and unsustainable practices - particularly surrounding women's rights - and ultimately the dire need for a better way of doing business that would be good for both people and planet. Birdsong is fast on its path to becoming the blueprint for how fashion business should be done.

ABOUT BIRDSONG:
Creating clothing for women who dress in protest – against the fast nature of the fashion industry, the obsessive pursuit of trends and the systematic abuse of women in the production line. Dreaming up designs in house, working with expert makers who face barriers to employment in the UK – from artists and printmakers to seamstresses and painters – and pay them London living wage to bring the creations to life.
