Pre-Loved Podcast: Venetia La Manna
Today’s show is with Venetia La Manna, a podcaster and fair fashion campaigner. Across her social platforms Venetia challenges fashion brands who are costing the earth and calls out retailers on their unethical practices in the fashion supply chain. In 2020, she co-founded Remember Who Made Them to help re-energise a new solidarity economy in fashion.
She now hosts a podcast called All The Small Things, an interview series that has amassed well over 2M downloads, and has spoken about the fashion industry and the climate crisis on the likes of BBC World News, Buzzfeed and NowThis.
On this episode we chat about Venetia’s journey to slow fashion, what she’s learned campaigning for fair fashion, her push for greater solidarity in the industry, stories beyond her cherished pre-loved pieces, and more! I’m so excited for you to hear his stories, so let’s dive right into the show!
