"If we go back to that $20 cotton tee shirt for example- did you know over 77 million cotton farmers get poisoned from pesticide use each year? How much of that $20 did they get to pay for their hospital bills so you could wear that tee shirt? Our perception is wrong, so we really need to change the way we look at clothing and the value of it."

"Fashion is important. It has power. It can make us feel amazing in a meeting, on a date, or comfort us when we are stuck at home for 100+ days in a row. My hope is that as the new technologies and options gain traction, the old and unsustainable ways of producing become extinct."

"The new trend (and therefore problem) in the space is offsetting. The UN’s recent IPCC report is clear that the industry needs to halve their emissions before 2030 - planting trees isn’t going to do that.

In conversation with: Celeste Tesoriero
"Fashion has been psychologically placed as throwaway, so we generally give the same amount of time to our purchase as we would a consumable like food. Think of it more like a keepsake, or something you don’t want to replace very often like a dishwasher....."

Celeste Tesoriero on how to consume fashion ethically
"One of the biggest misconceptions brands have about sustainable fashion is that it will cost more to make. Sustainable fashion is actually smarter. Introducing practices such as minimising waste means saving money. Minimising your carbon footprint means you are saving on your energy bill. This cost saving, can absorb the extra costs of producing in an ethical factory and using quality materials...."

"Each statement piece of jewellery I have makes me feel a certain way. It's the same with clothing, and what drew me to be a designer. The power of what we wear has the ability to lift us."

Industry according to Celeste Tesoriero
"The future of fashion looks different. As the future of our lives looks different in every way. Five years ago we didn’t have Deliveroo. In three years we will have fully automated self-driving cars. Offices are becoming rare, redundant, as it’s cost-effective for companies to no longer have them. Less people are choosing to move to big cities for work..."
