Join Joanna and Emma for the final episode of Fashion not all as it Seams. The last two seasons have been such an amazing experience for us all and we feel really privileged to have hosted such wonderful guests and humbled by the positive feedback to Season 1 and 2. Sadly, we have decided that for the moment this is the end of the podcast. We have found that coordinating 4 co-hosts whilst growing our own businesses has been a challenge and that for now, we need to focus on our individual goals. We continue to support each other's work and are so grateful to have had the chance to create this together.

Today Emma interviews our very own co-host Ngaire Takano!

Ngaire is untraditional and unorthodox. She leads with values and conviction and deeply cares about sheep, farmers, circularity, traceability and nature She’s been an activist since she was 10 years old - campaigning against deforestation of local rainforests on the east coast of Australia, at 12 years old she helped support a local against a proposed irradiation plant for food - the information she gathered - pre internet- helped support the campaign which led to it not being build locally, , at 15 she was worked on a Merino sheep farm learning the trade and at 16 she started her own business supplying local restaurants with organic and locally grown ingredients.

She really is a living, breathing example of how business should be done. This is the blueprint. But actually, more than that, this is who Ngaire is at a soul level. It’s literally in her blood.

So what, quite literally started as a conversation with sheep and geese a couple of years ago on a farm in Belgium is now at an accelerator stage - we hear about the problems that come with the ideology that is scaling and funding. Yet such is the interest with this business centered around sheep, farmers and wool that Ngaire will be taking it to international stages very soon. And not only is there interest from the fashion and interiors sector but also automobile and packaging. There is so much potential here.

It’s pure innovation AND from the heart.

A business where reciprocity, circularity and connection are at its core. And women owned. We need more Ngaire’s in the world.
