You're listening to the Schirlach's podcast, your guide to a more stylish life.

Welcome to the Schirlach in conversation podcast with me Charlotte Collins.

This week I'm joined by Claire Richardson.

Claire is one of the most respected and sought after names

in the fashion industry, a stylist who's worked

with some of its biggest brands,

including Emmes, Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein,

and publications such as Vogue Paris,

the last magazine and the

M lemonde. She's also an advocate of slow fashion and the founder of

Resale Platform Relux, on a mission to change consumer behavior and create a

more sustainable fashion environment, Relux authenticates every item and

takes care of the process from photographing and listing through to selling and

shipment. Well, Claire. Thank you for having me. It's so lovely to have you.

There's I mean there's so much we want to talk about

Relux and slow fashion but can we just talk a little bit about your career

first because it's it's a starry enough career without getting onto the

whole business that you've started so how did you get started Why styling? I would like to give you some sort of amazing

tale but I slightly fell into it. I used to live in abroad in Korea and Japan and I want to say that that's why being around these

amazing cultures but I actually think it was when I discovered magazines maybe maybe 14 to 15, and thought they were this sort of amazing fantasy

escapism, and that's when I started to come interested in clothes. And my family has no interest in fashion whatsoever.

And I think to my dad's horror that I wanted to pursue fashion.
