Behind the Label with Sam Taylor

Fast fashion isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s a community issue, too. In this week’s episode, I sit down with Sam Taylor to expose the hidden realities of the fashion industry.

From supply chain waste to why clothing quality keeps getting worse. We break down why recycling isn’t the solution you think it is and how low-cost fashion brands cut corners in ways you’d never expect.

But it’s not all bad new - Sam shares practical ways we can push back, from smarter shopping habits to supporting local businesses. We also discuss why second-hand shopping is on the rise, how consumer behaviour is shifting, and the one rebellious act that could make the biggest difference.

If you’ve ever wondered what really happens to the clothes you donate or how to make more ethical fashion choices, this episode is packed with eye-opening insights.
