Venetia La Manna on Sustainable Fashion

This week we talk to the delightful Venetia La Manna, a great
friend and truly inspiring woman.


Venetia is a podcaster, slow fashion campaigner and co-founder
of Remember Who Made Them, which is helping to energise
a new solidarity economy in fashion. 


Venetia tries to bring mindfulness and compassion to
all that she does. In her new podcast, “All The Small
Things” she chats to inspiring people and thought leaders about
finding joy in the small moments, and learns more about
their routines, habits and rituals. 


Throughout her social platforms Venetia challenges
fashion brands who are costing the earth and calls out
retailers on their unethical practices in the fashion
supply chain. Venetia’s campaigning has been recognised globally,
and she’s been featured on BBC Radio 1, Now This News and BBC
Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour. She has written for The Independent
and Eco Age and earlier this year, was featured as one of ID
Magazine’s young activists fighting to save the
planet. 


In this episode Venetia talks us through the fast fashion
industry, it’s unethical practices and how to identify them, and
its effects on the enviroment. 


She talks us through effective and simple ways we can make
changes to be more conscious in our own purchasing.


“Guilt tripping ourselves is a waste of time we should absolutely
do the best we can, but I think it’s of more importance to think
about collective action and collectively being active citizens
than being conscious consumers”


We learnt a lot on this episode, Venetia is delightful to talk to
and her social platforms are a great resource for anyone looking
for credible fact checked information on the fashion industry.
