About this episode
This week, Emily and Raymond are taking a walk in Battersea Park with the brilliant Patrick Grant! Patrick is well-loved for his role as a judge on The Great British Sewing Bee. He’s also a designer, entrepreneur, owner of Community Clothing - a sustainable fashion label.
Although Patrick doesn’t currently have a dog, he has a wealth of dog experience from his idyllic childhood in Edinburgh - which sounds like it was a scene straight out of The Wind In The Willows. He explains the origins of his lifelong interest in clothes and we discuss the subtleties of being well-dressed.
Patrick’s book LESS - Stop Buying So Much Rubbish: How Having Fewer Better Things Can Make Us Happier is available now!
