With a career in fashion spanning nearly two decades, Patrick Grant has a lot to say about our clothing, who makes it and how it’s made.

The respected fashion designer, founder of Community Clothing and beloved Great British Sewing Bee judge comes to Bath to talk about Less: Stop Buying So Much Rubbish - a passionate and revealing book about loving clothes but despairing of a broken global system.

Patrick talks to Lizzie Heffer about the crisis of consumption and quality in fashion, how valuing craftsmanship and local manufacturing matters for all our futures and how we might make ourselves happier by rediscovering the joy of living with fewer, better quality things.
