Lydia Bolton is a sustainably-focused fashion designer that turns unwanted materials into custom-made womenswear clothing.
Lydia founded her namesake brand in 2019 after taking a course at the Centre for Sustainable Fashion and learning in-depth about the huge amounts of garments and textiles sent to landfill each year.
She has since been featured in Vogue as a "Girl on a Mission", in Euro News as a "Designer Fighting Waste" and has collaborated with brands like Reebok and Nicce on sustainably-centered projects.
We spoke to her about all of this and more. If you’d like to see Lydia’s bespoke clothing or check out her blog, here’s a link to her website and Instagram.
