This week Amisha meets Cultural Futurist & Creative Director Annegret Affolderbach. As well as being a major contributor to The Future is Beautiful book which inspired this podcast, Annegret is an award -winning, disruptive innovator and social entrepreneur in the world of fashion.
Her Choolips fashion brand was produced by a Ghanaian women's co-op, trained by Annegret herself to create exceptional designs using revamped forms of traditional techniques such as batik. The collection flew off the rails of Topshop in Oxford Circus, successfully connecting with a young audience who understand what is behind creating a fair and sustainable product.
Amisha and Annegret discuss life as a global citizen, the challenges of going it alone as a change maker and social entrepreneur and what it really takes to set up a sustainable creative project.
