In this month's 'OS in the Spotlight' we feature Old Shirburnian, Simon Martin (d 95).
Simon has just launched an exciting new fashion brand, Carbon Conscious Clothing, an ethical and sustainable clothing company, committed to reshaping the industry.
Since leaving Sherborne, Simon had always been involved in the fashion industry, but just over ten years ago he quit his job as director of a fashion company in London and moved to Bristol with his young family to start a new life designing and building treehouses.
Simon had a dream of establishing a sustainable and ethical clothing label and so the seeds of Carbon Conscious Clothing — a brand that champions inclusivity and gender fluidity were sown.
Simon aspires to make a meaningful impact on the planet, fashioning high-quality, long-lasting garments with a reduced environmental footprint.
Every facet of production reflects this commitment, from responsibly sourced fabrics to partnerships with mills addressing water usage, chemical dyes, and harmful practices and eventually to recycling every garment sold.
