Carry Somers in conversation with Rossy Lemos

Nature is in vogue

Cartagena 2026, 

Carry Somers (UK) has been one of the standard-bearers of ethical fashion since she co-founded Fashion Revolution, and asked a question that changed the industry and raised awareness among thousands of people: “Who made your clothes?”. She has recently published The Nature of Fashion, an epic sweep through the history of clothes, from learning to create garments from plants, to the changes that textiles have made to our world and the natural landscape. This writer received the honour of being invited by the Kogui people of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta to investigate their traditions and clothing. She talks to Rossy Lemos.

Simultaneous interpretation from English to Spanish available
