My guest for this episode is Alec Leach. Formerly Style Editor at Highsnobiety, in 2018 Alec left his role to pursue a career in sustainability. In 2022, he published a book called ‘The World is on Fire, But We’re Still Buying Shoes’, a short, sharp manifesto about how we can fix our shopping habits. The book has now sold over 10,000 copies.
In this episode, Alec talks us through 8 items from his wardrobe which tell the story of his journey from a fashion editor inundated with freebies to a sustainability activist with a ruthlessly edited wardrobe of staples.
