Fashion doesn't just start on the runway. It can have origins deep in a forest or even in the leftovers of yesterday’s meal. On this episode, we’re looking at how communities and creators are turning farm waste into cutting-edge fashion. In the Peruvian Amazon, Indigenous members of the Awajún community are creating Shiringa BioLeather, an eco-friendly alternative to animal leather. And in Italy, orange peels are being transformed into luxury textiles. Finally, we look at how fashion is linked to land degradation and what that means for the future of the industry. From ancestral knowledge to modern design, we embark on a journey through fashion that respects its roots and reimagines its future.Featuring Enrica Arena, Jorge Cajacuri, Emma Håkansson, Doris and Rosalia - Indigenous Awajún Women of the Peruvian Amazon, and Xenya Scanlon. For more information:From farm waste to green fashion - Episode 84
