PhD Candidate, Sheffield Hallam University
I am currently working part-time towards a practice-based PhD titled 'Enduring Fashion: Building Sustainable Clothing Practices Through Wearer-Garment Relationships.
Sustainability in fashion has been a long running theme throughout my academic and professional career: I was the only student on my BA looking at the environmental impact of the fashion industry when I graduated in 2000 and explored novel ways to recycle textiles for my MA in 2004. I worked as a designer for a niche ethical fashion business and have written craft books designed to empower people to do fashion their own way.
Clothes and how people use them is at the heart of what makes me tick.
