Meet the Team | Alex Barrett

Who Am I?

My background is in the fashion industry, working for several British high street brands and now at my dream job for a fully sustainable and ethical clothing company.

Seeing first-hand how much waste and environmental damage the fashion industry creates, and the impact that fast fashion has on the planet and society, I felt determined to make a change personally and professionally. This has lead me to explore a more sustainable lifestyle from ethical fashion to living plastic-free and using vegan skincare.

 

What I believe in?

I believe that small everyday changes can truly make a difference in reducing our impact on the environment, and that sustainable living can be part of everyone’s life in some way.

 

Why SFW?

I am passionate about supporting change in the fashion industry and embracing more sustainable ways to live, dress and be. I love the ethos behind SFW and am super excited to be involved in a creative, community lead event.

 

What I do for SFW

I am part of the Communications Team looking after the various social media channels.

My 3 favourite items

  • A polka dot hemp jumpsuit purchased from one of my favourite sustainable brands Thought Clothing.

  • A vintage retro blouse that is perfect for festival season.

  • My ‘go to’ jeans that are about 8 years old now but are still going strong!
