Patrick Grant | Less: Stop Buying So Much Rubbish

Sat 26 Apr 2025 | 11:30am - 12:30pm

Join The Great British Sewing Bee judge, celebrated fashion designer, and founder of Community Clothing, Patrick Grant, for an eye-opening discussion that challenges the global fashion industry and its devastating impact on our planet and happiness.

Once, our clothes were cherished — fewer in number but repaired, re-worn, and passed down, supporting skilled local artisans. In conversation with Gaby Huddart, Patrick will highlight the shocking reality of modern fashion: 100 billion garments produced annually, 30% unsold, and the equivalent of one bin lorry of clothing dumped or burned every second.

Why are our wardrobes overflowing with clothes we never wear, and why do we keep buying more?

This thought-provoking session is a must for anyone passionate about sustainability, craftsmanship, and creating a brighter future for fashion – and our planet.

Talk length: 1 hour including Q&A, followed by a book signing.
