Welcome to Fashion Unlocks, where experts share the secrets that transform your everyday wardrobe.

I'm Angelina Russo, founder of Fleurieu Made. On Fashion Unlocks our mission is to translate fashion industry expertise into practical actions that you can use everyday. Each episode brings you expert knowledge from designers, educators, retailers, resellers and policy makers who share their secrets and skills to circular fashion, quality assessment, repair, and wardrobe optimization.

In Season One we talk with children's fashion brand designers, with parents, grandparents and retailers and resellers about what it really means to raise children through the lens of circular values. From hand‑me‑downs to heirlooms, discover how the choices we make create generational change.

Whether you have children in your life, or whether your own wardrobes are overflowing and still don’t have anything to wear, you really don’t know what to do with your clothes once you're done with them, you don’t know much about repair, resale, recycling, rental or repurposing, our guests will help you to transform how you see, care for, and value your clothing.

Because the most sustainable wardrobe isn't one you buy—it's one you already own, properly understood and expertly maintained. Join us as we transform expert knowledge into everyday wardrobes.
