Garmology - A podcast about clothes, and stuff.

Small is beautiful - With Leigh of The RE:DIRECTORY (#64)
2021-10-21
This week my guest is Leigh of The RE:DIRECTORY. After 20 years in High Street retail, Leigh reached a point where she could no longer stand behind the values they worked to, mainly going for quick profit and short-term gains. As an experienced buyer, she has seen the inner workings of the fashion business, from top management to the shop floor. She now promotes small, ethical businesses through her web platform, The RE:DIRECTORY. Topics include how fast fashion played Pied Piper to the traditional fashion business, the lies we are told through marketing, how quickly items go from shop floor to secondhand platforms and how the concept of retail therapy needs to be thrown out. Oh, and the problem with slow fashion. And a lot more, naturally!
