Two Natural Ladies have an inspiring chat and get education on fashion with Nina Gbor who is now one of the Top 10 sustainable Influencers as well as top10 zero waste influencers. Nina is an Eco Stylist, Fashion Climate Activist, Speaker, Founder of Eco Styles and Clothes Swap & Style

Vicki and Jo start by finding out how Nina became interested in fashion. Nina’s mum introduced Nina as a child to 50’s films and she loved what the women were wearing. Nina created her own unique style mixing second hand and vintage with modern. This naturally created a sustainable circular fashion business.

Two Natural Ladies and Nina discuss Op shop gentrification, how some Op shops are becoming more expensive, no longer available for those who it was originally created for – the more vulnerable. Second hand clothing will become bigger than fast fashion – this has to be good? More opportunities now but people can be ostracised.

What if we systemised clothes swaps? In schools for instance as kids grow they can swap with each other, mums, babies religious groups finding ways to save money and the amount of textiles that go to landfill.

Thinking about how to use what you buy from Op Shops. Ask yourself will I wear it 30 times? Let’s fix the greater problems in the fashion industry

Jo & Vicki ask Nina about her roles as an activist? Nina educates via events, she writes articles on Eco Styles and ‘The Wardrobe Crisis – a great source for sustainable education and innovative ideas. Nina does talks in schools and in her everyday life as Nina’s own fashion is quite individual people naturally ask her about the clothes she wears

Some incredible Statistics:

· 150 billion garment are made every year yet there are only 8.7billion people on the planet. We are plundering and pillaging the earth.

· 6000 kilograms of textiles going to landfill every 10 minutes

We need legislative change– international legislation and trade agreements AND consumer activism
