For this episode we chat with Sara Arnold, Founder of [Higher Studio](https://www.higher.studio/?ref=protein.xyz), a couture fashion rental and subscription service based in East London. She is also an active member of [Extinction Rebellion](https://rebellion.earth/?ref=protein.xyz) who are promoting a fashion boycott, urging people not to buy any new clothes for a year. For some context, 100Bn new clothing items are produced each year, which in turn contributes 10% of the total global carbon emissions as well as releasing of a huge amount of microfibres and plastics into the ocean. We hope you enjoy her story...
