In Conversation with Sustainable Design Director, Patrick McDowell

In Conversation with Sustainable Design Director, Patrick McDowell

Author: Jaymes Byron Talent August 17, 2021 Duration: 39:53

Launching season two, we got to talk with Patrick McDowell, the fast, growing name in Sustainable Design. Collaborating with the likes of Converse, Swarovski, Katharine Hamnett, and working as Sustainable Design Director for Italian brand, PINKO, learn why brands are following this designer’s fresh approach to responsible fashion.

Hear how Patrick rose to prominence from his humble, roots growing up in Liverpool and its influence on his design aesthetic.

Patrick tells us how the sustainable future of the industry is one of niceness and collaboration, which is overtaking the outdated attitude of “competitiveness”. We also hear how Patrick is supporting the LGBTQ community and the importance of raising up the smaller voices who are making a difference often behind the scenes.
