About this episode

Can you work in fashion, love the planet and love yourself? Model and activist Charli Howard learns how a new breed of fashion brands are making it cool to be kind to people and planet.

Charli meets Emmanuel Enemokwu who runs a streetwear start-up that's taking steps towards sustainability. At 22, and with no background in fashion, he has set out to reclaim the name he was bullied for at school and to make T-shirts and hoodies that are as conscious as they are cool.

Presenter: Charli Howard Producer: Kirsty McQuire Editor: Rebecca Stratford
