Ep 43. It’s a Fashion Revolution – Carrie Ann Moran

Season 3 is starting as I mean to go on – via revolution! Episode 43 shines a light on the social issues behind the clothes we wear, and the power of numbers. Numbers of people, that is. Not to forget, Fashion Revolution week is one week a year, but the fashion revolution exists every time you get dressed or walk into a clothing store. Have a listen and enjoy!
