His talk will cover the highs and lows of working in the fashion industry, including last-minute disasters and great triumphs. With his wealth of knowledge and experience, Patrick will delve into the world of craftsmanship and creativity, exploring how our relationship with clothing has changed over time.

Patrick Grant's argument is not one of nostalgia, but rather a personal and economic perspective on the value of making things that last. He will discuss how the fast-fashion industry has led to a staggering 100 billion garments being produced every year, with a third of them never being worn. This has resulted in a huge amount of waste, with the equivalent of a bin lorry full of clothes being burned or buried every second. By examining the issues with the current industry, Patrick aims to highlight what gets lost when price becomes the only measure of value.

The evening will be an opportunity to learn about craftsmanship, creativity, and the joy of art in a world dominated by fast fashion. Patrick Grant will share his thoughts on what might be recovered when we look beyond price as the only measure of value. With the chance to ask him your own questions, this is a unique opportunity to gain insight into the world of fashion and craftsmanship.
