Pariss Cozier - Ethical Clothing, Quokkas and Cults

We're back with perhaps our most paradoxical episode yet - how often do you get strong positive ethical chat alongside chat about the best way to dispose of a body? Yup, that's what we thought.

This week's enthusiastic guest is sustainable fashion pioneer and founder of Chaos and Colour Pariss Cozier, a woman who blazed a trail taking her first from London to Bristol (geddon the Westcountry), all the way to traditional garment making in India and beyond. Alongside discussion of the fast-fashion bingeing and ethical discovery which led her to where she is now, is a big old confession of a love for cults and all things macabre. Pariss is most definitely a woman after our own hearts... just as long as she's not, you know, actually after our hearts. We get the sense she might get away with it.

There's all the usual new recommendations too from Becky and Sarah, covering everything from Sarah's new obsession with Quokkas and Curtis Sittenfeld, to Becky's outrageous boot buying and new poetic favourite.

Something for everyone you could say. Hopefully.
