The film also profiles a new generation of consumers, designers and business people like Linn, who have started challenging planned obsolescence as an unsustainable economic driver. Linn explains that tights are made from petroleum which shocks most people. She saw many areas for improvement in design, quality, sustainability and packaging and has set about rewriting the rule book to create the first sustainable worldwide hosiery brand made from fully recycled nylon.

Founded in 2018 by Rosie De Malmanche in Australia, Our Closet offers an endless closet at your fingertips. Rosie was renting out her extensive wardrobe as a way to make some extra money when a few of her friends started asking to rent out their clothes as well and she saw an opportunity to create a platform where clothes could be rented in a safe and secure way whilst still being available for the owner to wear too. Our Closet is a way to make some money back on your purchases which rent for around 20% of the purchase price, rent them out 5 times and you’ve made your money back. Rent them 6 times, you’re making money!! It is also an opportunity to rent a gorgeous designer outfit for a fraction of the retail price, take that killer Insta snap and move on to the next outfit, which helps cut down on the fast fashion going straight to landfill. Before buying a new outfit, Rosie wants us to consider: Will I wear this again? Would someone else want to wear it? For this price, could I rent something from my favourite luxury designer instead?

We first started working with Rapha back in 2014 when the brand was beginning to scale. We were tasked, by the then CEO with finding a production manager and set a very specific brief resulting in a successful hire. Fast forward 3 years and Ashley Marsh joined the HR team and is my guest on Raw Talent, here to inspire us with his birds-eye view from inside the cycling revolution, which has been gripping our screens, streets and outdoor spaces and is being championed by the UK government, who are on a mission to promote healthy active lifestyles by improving road safety for cyclists. Amsterdam is coming to the UK! One of the questions I will be asking is how the culture at Rapha has been impacted by the pandemic and how they are managing to keep the company cycling?

Our paths first crossed back in 2009 as the global financial crash was biting and the job market was in turmoil, similar to today, Russell and I independently of one another, set up businesses and he approached me to help find him a business partner. I was super busy at the time in a one person business and completely forgot to get back to him! However, our paths crossed again a couple of years later and we have been regular collaborators since. Fast forward 10 years and a global pandemic later and we are both in a rebuilding phase as the fashion industry shakes itself down and maps new pathways aimed at addressing sustainability, purpose and impact.
