Meet the Team | Ceilidh Jackson-Baker

Who am I

I am an experienced project coordinator, working on projects that promote environmental sustainability and help Bristol towards becoming carbon neutral, and resilient to the effects of climate change. I love cooking, dancing, countryside walks and sewing.

What I believe in

Valuing the skills and resources that have gone into producing clothes and celebrating the stories behind every outfit.

Why SFW

I love clothes. I’m not one to follow the latest fashion trends, but I recognise the value of clothes for self-expression and identity as well as pure functionality. Sustainable fashion has a reputation of being exclusive and expensive, out of reach for most people. At SFW we want to share that sustainable fashion is for everyone through our four themes of #REGENERATE,  #REWEAR,  #REPURPOSE  and  #REBEL.

What I do for SFW

I’m SFW’s Strategy Lead. I provide strategic direction including communications and content strategy, building connections and supporting programming.

3 favourite items in my wardrobe

·       Monochrome skirt. I got this black and white skirt at a clothes swap. It is super comfy, smart but fun, plus it has pockets! The top is from a charity shop.

·       Humphries and Begg dress. Stroud based Humphries and Begg are a small brand who design bold patterns that are screen-printed onto organic cotton dresses, shirts and playsuits. I have had my eye on them for a few years now and recently bought myself a dress in a bright pink, orange and blue print. It is comfortable, stylish and bold.

·       Homemade jumpsuit. Last Summer I had two weddings to go and didn’t want to wear a dress or buy something new, so I made myself a jumpsuit from my fabric stash. It is inspired by Yevu Clothing and the Fabric Africa exhibition at Bristol Museum. It took me ages… especially the pattern matching but I am proud of it and will wear it for many years to come (not just to weddings!).
