If sustainable fashion is small, sustainable fashion journalism is microscopic. A handful of epic reporters help to regularly hold the industry to account, and central in that pool is Sarah Kent.

Leading The Business of Fashion’s (BoF) coverage of critical environmental and labour issues, Sarah, I’d argue, is consequently one of the industry’s most informed on the key topics that matter. Reading her author page is the cheat’s way to keeping on top of everything you need to know.

Her recent headlines include: What the Crisis in Bangladesh Means for Fashion’s Supply Chain, Is Luxury Finally Set for a Sustainability Reckoning?, What the EU’s Big Week of Regulation Means for Fashion, Who Will Finance a More Sustainable Fashion Industry?, What Happens When It’s Too Hot to Make Fashion?, and more.

Sarah also created and launched the BoF Sustainability Index, a benchmark for industry progress towards ambitious environmental and social impact goals. She previously covered the energy sector at The Wall Street Journal.

I’m thrilled Sarah was able to step on the other side of the questions for a change in order to share both some insights about her career and her tips for others interested in being in this space…
