How big is sustainable fashion in Iceland? You might be surprised to find out.

We also nearly called this Episode: The Secret Lives Of Sweaters. Listen and you will see why!

In this fascinating, surprising conversation about funny jumpers and changing the world, you will meet \\xddr J\\xf3hannsd\\xf3ttir - a textile designer, artist/activist upcycler from Reykjavik.

With her label \\xddr\\xfarar\\xed (and her huge Instagram following) she is making a name for herself using creativity and humour to challenge fashion\'s unsustainable ways. 

People want to have fun with fashion, she says, and if we can use that to get a serious message across, that\'s a powerful thing. Also up for discussion: Iceland\'s craft and wool tradition, appreciating the local, resourcefulness, tool libraries and the future of fashion as sharing.
