Welcome to a series 3! Aja Barber is a writer, stylist and consultant whose work deals with the intersections of sustainability and the fashion landscape, building heavily on ideas behind privilege, wealth inequality, racism, feminism and colonialism. Her brand new debut book “Consumed: The need for collective change; colonialism, climate change &amp; consumerism”, is a blazing polemic against both the exploitation and injustice of the fashion industry and the cynical manipulation of consumer culture as a whole. It’s divided into one learning section and one unlearning section, so by the end, you’ll understand why fashion is exploitative, how it’s causing a humanitarian crisis and contributing to climate breakdown and you’ll feel equipped to be a better consumer and, fundamentally, a more active citizen.&nbsp; Order Aja's book <a href="https://bit.ly/3tUNUM5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>Find Aja: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ajabarber/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ajabarber</a>Find me: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/venetialamanna/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@venetialamanna</a>Find the show: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/atstpodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@atstpodcast</a> This episode is kindly sponsored by <a href="https://www.vestiairecollective.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vestiaire Collective</a>.
