Purpose & Social Sustainability with Jeanne de Kroon
In the final episode of Series 1, Simone and Clare talk with Jeanne De Kroon, the founder of Zazi Vintage - a high-end fashion social enterprise that celebrates upcycled fabrics and artisan techniques. Zazi works with the EFI in Afghanistan.
Jeanne is a free spirit who says her mission is to create: "a narrative that connects and weaves cultures together through cloth, that works with women storytellers all over the world."
This vibrant conversation is really good fun, but, like fashion, it also engages with serious, complex issues. We discuss the deep questions shaping the sustainability discourse today: who profits and who pays the true cost, transparency, finding purpose, and seeking ways to bridge different cultures.
Our music is from the original production From Kabul to Bamako, music directed by Saïd Assadi.
