Podcast Overview

In Collective Fashion Justice’s new podcast, join a New Yorker and an Australian who love fashion but hate what it does to life on our planet, as they gossip about the month’s fashion industry stories and how they impact people, animals and the planet. Quick, critical, a little sarcastic and queer, this is a podcast for people in and into fashion. Who feel like creativity could make our culture better. Who want to talk about the serious problems and have a bit of fun. Because we can. Fashion, Really? is a podcast from Collective Fashion Justice’s founding director, Emma Hakansson, and CFJ board member, Joshua Katcher. With one brand, four books, a charity and endless lectures on responsible fashion between them, each episode touches on culture, sustainability, ethics, and another idea for transforming fashion that they can’t shut up about.

BONUS: A CPHFW panel on shiringa bio-leather, design and fashion’s future

This bonus episode features a panel discussion that took place at Copenhagen Fashion Week in August 2025. The talk was moderated by Giorgia Feroldi, a fashion journalist writing for the likes of Vogue Italia. The conversation explores our SHIRINGA film which was screened before the conversation, and examines how shiringa bio-leather could be used within the fashion industry. Panelists include Veronica D’Souza, board member of Danish Design Council and sustainable leader; Rebecca Bay, Chief Creative Officer at Marimekko who emphasises the shift to material-first design; Sine Christiane Gerstenberg, a writer, editor and creative advocating for positive industry change; and our founding director (and director of SHIRINGA), Emma Håkansson. The discussion delves into ethics, sustainability, and the need for systemic changes in fashion, highlighting the importance of respecting Indigenous knowledge and addressing the industry's pace. The panel also discusses the importance of material transparency, legislative support, and the potential for a more ethically-driven fashion industry. Lastly, the episode underscores the need for deep knowledge and collaboration within the industry to foster meaningful change.

Fast fashion’s final destination: waste colonialism with OR Foundation’s Sammy Oteng

In this bonus episode of Fashion, Really?, we’re looking at where wasted fashion goes, and the fashion industry’s dirty global secret of waste colonialism. Our guest, Sammy Oteng, is a designer based in Accra, Ghana, working as Senior Community Engagement Manager at the OR Foundation. He joins us for a powerful conversation about where our clothes really go when we’re done with them. Spoiler: It’s not all thrift shops and upcycling. Sammy walks us through both the creative ingenuity and the harsh social and environmental realities of Kantamanto Market in Accra, one of the largest secondhand clothing markets in the world. We're talking mountains of discarded clothes, environmental fallout, and a system stacked against the very communities forced to clean up the Global North’s mess. Amongst the dark there is also light: Sammy shares how Ghanaian creatives, traders, and tailors are innovating: reclaiming and reimagining waste into something new. We also unpack extended producer responsibility (EPR), and why it might be one of the few policy tools with real teeth to solve this problem. It’s an episode about power, justice, and what it means to take responsibility for fashion’s footprint. 00:00 Introduction to Sammy Oteng and The OR Foundation 00:59 Defining waste colonialism 02:05 Impact of waste colonialism in Ghana 06:53 Kantamanto Market: a model of sustainability 12:05 Challenges and Innovations in fashion design 19:48 Consumer responsibility and education 26:32 Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) 38:40 Final thoughts and call to action Actions you can take: Speak Volumes campaign by The OR Foundation Sign our total ethics fashion manifesto Try the rule of 5 challenge More resources: Learn more with the OR Foundation and support their work CFJ’s page on mass consumerism and its impact Read: Consumed: The Need for Collective Change, by Aja Barber Read: Total Ethics Fashion, by Emma Hakansson Follow: Sammy’s design Instagram OR Foundation
