The global slow fashion movement is an important part of raising awareness about sustainability and fairer treatment of the workers who make the world’s clothes.

In this blog post I give some insight into my previous work for theatre and film. I was allowed to rework a huge collection of unsightly hats from a theatre fundus, build funny bumblebee wings or even run the entire costume for a Christmas fairy tale production.
