The Face | adidas Home of Classics | Fat Tony in conversation with Bethany Williams

Step forward, showing a clean pair of heels, Bethany Williams. Earlier this year the young fashion designer from the Isle of Man was honoured with the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design - recognition of both her talent and her commitment to sustainability. It’s an approach that explains her preference for dirty white trainers over boxfresh. “Everything that I buy I usually keep. So I hold on to everything that I wear.” Her idols, she tells Fat Tony, are 16-year-old Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg and Frances Corner, head of London College of Fashion, “just because she’s shaped the last 15 years of positive fashion”. As for her hopes for the future: “Ooh, that’s a big question…” And Bethany gives a big answer.
