COP26: Norfolk fashion graduate's tips to reduce your clothing footprint

A fashion graduate who wants to help people wear their clothes for longer has said she wanted to find a way to "use fashion for good".

Kate Harper, from Gorleston in Norfolk, has set up not-for-profit organisation We Wear The Trousers to give tips on mending and repurposing outfits.

The fashion industry accounts for about 10% of global carbon emissions.

"If one person goes away having learnt something new, or thinking about the way they use and wear clothing because of what we've put on, that just feels really amazing," Ms Harper said.
