Black Is The New Green

These days, companies everywhere are always looking for ways to make more eco-friendly products, and it's no different in the world of fashion. Pearly Wong is dubbed Malaysia’s own Stella McCartney in the way ethics and sustainability are held above all when she creates her multifunctional clothes. In this episode, she talks to us about her exploration of the sustainable element of fashion design and how she still stays true to her minimalist roots. Later, Emma Chong Johnston breaks down the picnic-esque summer staple: basket bags.
