Sustainable Fashion: Christopher Raeburn’s Remade Studio I Hubbub Vlog

Coats made out of parachutes? Life rafts being used to make designer bags? We meet fashion designer Christopher Raeburn who takes us behind the scenes of his magical Remade studio to discover what sustainable fashion looks like. This week our ‘FAUX’ Fashion Magazine competition winners Katie and Georgia, met fashion designer Christopher Raeburn in his North London studio to find out what it’s really like to run a sustainable fashion label. We throw away 350,000 tonnes of clothing every year in the UK, and even more clothing ends up languishing in our wardrobes because it doesn’t quite look right, doesn’t match anything else we own or we bought it without trying it on (again). Christopher’s innovative designs got us to thinking about what we could do at home to make the most of our wardrobes, so here are our top tips for dressing green without losing out on style: TOP TIPS FOR A SUSTAINABLE WARDROBE. Remake. Reworking and fixing your clothes is a great way to keep them fresh and make sure they last longer. Buy second hand.
