Sustainability is not aesthetic. It is risk. 🎙️⚠️
In Season 2 Episode 5 of Bridging the Gap Podcast, Ekikere unpacks what it really means to work with wood, paper, natural fibres, and other raw materials 🌿📄🧵 long before sustainability became a buzzword.
She speaks on sourcing these materials in Africa, where producers of sustainable raw materials are close to going out of work, not because they lack capacity, but because they are not seed buyers and need steady demand 🤝🏾. To support them, Ekikere intentionally buys in large quantities 📦, a decision that then shapes her design process and forces more intentional use of materials across all her garments 👗✂️.
The conversation also explores the financial risk this places on young designers 💸, especially in contexts where sustainable and recycled materials are bought at higher costs than conventional fabrics ⚠️♻️.
Sustainability is deeply dissected in this episode. Tap in to listen, watch, and sit with the realities behind the work 🎧📺🌍.
