Fashion Fix: Activewear with Grace Beverley

Beauty Fix with Naomi Shimada

Jul 17 2020 • 26 mins

In a pre-lockdown chat, model Charli Howard meets a fitness influencer turned innovator, to find out how what we wear to work out is working out for the planet.

Award-winning entrepreneur Grace Beverley swaps the boardroom for her bedroom to chat about becoming a girl boss before she'd even graduated and taking on the big brands, by creating more sustainable activewear for all shapes and sizes.

Athleisure is big business but with most sportswear made from synthetic fibres, micro-plastic pollution is also a big problem across the industry. So how can you look good in your gym gear, care for the planet and keep fit, all while keeping #Fitspo anxiety at bay?

Presenter: Charli Howard Producer: Kirsty McQuire Editor: Rebecca Stratford
