Fashion Stylist, Creative Director and renowned ‘Queen of Thrift’ - the vibrant and pioneering Bay Garnet joins Alex on our ‘This is a Token’ podcast for a chat about her most treasured pieces of jewellery. Discover an incredibly glamorous, baroque style pearl bracelet - passed down from Bay's Grandmother, and a white gold signet ring by designer Solange - described by Alex as a ‘squishy sweet, peppered in diamonds!'
Listen in as Alex and Bay have a fascinating discussion about her groundbreaking work fusing fashion and sustainability since the late 1990’s - from the creativity of thrift as an powerful antidote to commercial fashion, and how art students across generations will simply never wear new clothes!
