Last year, before the true identity of "Elly Conway" was revealed, I sat down with Terry Hayes for a fascinating conversation about the authors who have inspired him, the weirdest job he ever had, and the one book he regrets not reading:

I’ve loved being a fashion + sustainability reporter, but equally excited to be starting a new job that lets me delve into another passion of mine. I look forward to getting to know a new community of publishers, BookTokkers and avid readers📚

My latest BoF story is a freebie! (i.e. no paywall, just register with your email address.) I unpack why the #sustainablefashion movement gets accused of being classist, and what could help reframe this increasingly fraught debate: https://t.co/5NEop7mt0Y

While Schiaparelli’s faux animal head gowns are dominating the news, Gucci’s quietly dropped rabbit felt (not technically fur) after questions about how the material fits with the brand’s animal welfare policies. Via @rldeeley @BoF https://t.co/dGxaEe7mgW

But we don't worry enough about how to redirect the money spent on extracting those fuels to spending it on sustainability goals.

Ahead of tonight's #LoveIsland season finale, I wrote about how the show is still a huge marketing opp for fast fashion brands - free to read! https://t.co/obO5uSue36
