  • with Fashion Designer, Activist & Political Artist Katharine Hamnett
    Apr 28 2023

    In this episode of Frankly Speaking with Lynne Franks, Lynne is joined by her long time friend of 53 years, fashion designer, activist and political artist, Katharine Hamnett. Katharine is the inventor of the slogan t-shirt, an icon of the 1980's, and an early champion of sustainability in the fashion industry. She has influenced both British popular culture and politics through the strength of her work.


    Breaking rules of the conventions of the fashion industry, there was always something new and exciting going on when Lynne and Katharine worked together. At a time when she was the most copied fashion designer of the time, she decided to create t-shirts with large type slogans like the now famous “ Choose Life” t-shirt, hoping that the messages would be spread far and wide.


    “Make the words so big you can’t not see them from a distance. Then when you read them, you’ve had it. The words are inside your brain, and you’ve got no defences.” Katharine Hamnett


    Listen as they discuss the origins of the now famous slogan t-shirts, her confrontation with Margaret Thatcher, her work championing the organic cotton trade, and her recent work with Help Refugees and We Are The Future.

  • with Wellbeing and Organic Food Campaigner Jo Wood
    Sep 2 2022

    In this episode of Frankly Speaking with Lynne Franks & Friends, Lynne is joined by her friend the organic beauty brand founder, natural foods activist and author, Jo Wood.


    Listen to Lynne and Jo discuss their shared opinions that women are now urgently needed to come together and move into their collaborative power as change makers, wisdom keepers and healers.


    Married for many years to the Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood, Jo started her career as a model at 16. After many years touring the world with the Stones and living a rock and roll lifestyle, she eventually started on a personal journey to better her health after being misdiagnosed with Crohn's disease. Jo and Lynne agree on the importance of growing our own organic food, and women coming together in community to lead the way into healthy eating and natural living.


    Following the interview this week's exercise is to research how to plant organic seeds in your home or community.
