If there’s one thing I hope I can bring to all of you more than anything else with this platform, it’s insight into some of the different types of roles out there in sustainable fashion today and the inside track about them from the incredible individuals who hold them.

Introducing then the new ‘Owning it’ interview series, which will profile different changemakers from the sector, exploring what they do, how they got there and what advice they have for everyone else looking to work or progress in this space.

I am hugely privileged to welcome Kellie Dalton as our inaugural guest. I consider Kellie a friend, but more than that, someone I am quite genuinely in awe of for both her knowledge and her expertise, as well as her drive to make a difference in this world. A leading sustainability strategist specialising in fashion and luxury, she is currently Head of Regeneration at House of Hackney and advisor to the Vivienne Westwood team. She has over 18 years experience working in social and environmental impact and providing teams with the skills to create meaningful and measurable change. Her CV is a vast roll call of British brands, including Katharine Hamnett London, Burberry, Manolo Blahnik, and many more.

I asked Kellie eight key questions about her career, and here’s what she said. It’s a relatively long read, but it had me so hooked I decided to publish the whole lot as I thought you too would thoroughly enjoy it. Huge gratitude to Kellie for giving so much of her time to share this….
