Fashioning the Future

Can we rethink how we dress to be less impactful on the planet? The Great British Sewing Bee's Patrick Grant helps Tom Heap, and Helen Czerski look for answers.

Whether you love to shop or find getting dressed a chore, clothing apparently isn’t optional. Patrick Grant, entrepreneur and presenter of The Great British Sewing Bee, and other industry insiders explore the impacts of our fashion choices on the environment, find out how well (or otherwise) big business is doing at tackling its carbon footprint, discover the story of how second-hand became mainstream, and help us rethink how we dress to prioritise the planet.

Presented by Tom Heap & Helen Czerski
Produced by Beth Sagar-Fenton
