| September 22nd 2008 | Ireland AM Thanks to Google’s Eco Fashion Show in September, belleEtik was featured on TV3s Ireland AM. Sybil Mulcahy also from Xpose, is a wonderful interviewer and made me feel totally calm, as it is very daunting for a first timer. The only problem was stopping me once I got started. These opportunities are great to really start the dialogue on our clothes, the fabrics & the people behind them. Hopefully I did it justice. We have a recording online – click. The quality is pretty bad, but more suited to listening. Appreciate any comments as it is about starting the dialogue as to what constitutes ethical fashion. |
