Holly is a Sustainable Development and Politics student at the University of Edinburgh, with a particular interest in the role of the fashion and textile industry in the global economy – an industry which she feels is generally overlooked in sustainable policy making. As a passionate amateur seamstress, she would like to encourage the uptake of repairing and upcycling skills among young people. Holly has not yet had the opportunity to specialise within the field of sustainability, so for her the prospect of working with Fashion Takes Action and contributing proactively to the environmental movement is incredibly exciting.
