This year at CG Optical, we’re also sponsoring Patrick Grant at the Stratford Literary Festival – a familiar face across the nation thanks to his role on the popular BBC reality programme, that has been running since 2013.
The ‘Prince of Fashion’, best known for his role as judge of the BBC’s The Great British Sewing Bee, built his business from total obscurity to become a dresser of the stars, a friend of the King, and a leader in the fashion industry. He’ll share his love for clothes but dislike of the way they’re made, and everything wrong with the three trillion-dollar fashion industry today that accounts for 10% of global carbon emissions, with UK consumers spending over £30b on clothing each year, but less than 2% of it is made here. And he’ll share how we can put it right.
