Sustainable Fashion Podcasts

For those times in the day when you could use a little inspiration – think commuting to work, doing the housework or even walking the dog – podcasts are excellent. Sustainable fashion podcasts are full of information about why our clothing needs to become more ethical and how people are actually achieving this. They can be a great way to inspire change.

Here are my top 6 sustainable fashion podcasts that I’m listening to right now.

Conscious Style Podcast

Elizabeth Joy has been interviewing fashion change makers for over 60 episodes of the Conscious Style Podcast and is still going strong. The Conscious Style Podcast explores topics including greenwashing, garment maker rights, consumer psychology, secondhand fashion, making the most of your closet, and more. Listen to the podcast here and check out her website here for even more conscious fashion tips.

Conscious Chatter

The volume of episodes in the Conscious Chatter archive is immense, it is a wealth of information. Kestrel Jenkins describes herself as a storyteller and conscious style maven and has interviewed a wide range of people for her podcast. She delves into all aspects of sustainable and ethical fashion including brands, makers, techniques and concepts. Listen to the podcast here and check out the website for the show notes.

The Wardrobe Crisis

The Wardrobe Crisis Podcast is presented by Clare Press. A journalist and writer with a passion for ethical fashion. Clare has worked for Vogue and Marie Claire as well as other publications. Wardrobe Crisis focuses on ethics, sustainability, consumerism, activism, identity and creativity.

Who Made My Clothes?

If you like Clare Press’s style, she has recorded an eight-part podcast called Who Made My Clothes with Fashion Revolution Australia and New Zealand. The episodes are quite short and look closer at the brands, people, designers and ideas behind the fashion industry in Australia and New Zealand. Available on Itunes.

Fashion Revolution

This is a three-part podcast from Fashion Revolution is presented by Tamsin Blanchard, a fashion journalist, and editor. Tamsin speaks to different people in the industry. Along with politicians and activists, trying to find out information from behind the scenes in the fashion industry. Listen to the podcast here.

Dressed

Dressed: The History of Fashion maybe isn’t a sustainable fashion podcast but it certainly gives a lot of information about where our clothes originally came from. It is presented by April Calahan and Cassidy Zachary who both have a vast knowledge of fashion history. If you are interested in fashion history, I recommend you check out Cassidy’s blog The Art of Dress. Listen to the podcast here and check out their website for the show notes.
