And did it all start with stone washing? Our guest this week accepts responsibility for the industry going so hard on that.</p><p><strong>Francois Girbaud</strong> was there at the start, when, as he says “I was just a stupid guy” - and didn't know about the environmental impact of stone washing. After that, of course, came acid wash, sandblasting, all the rest of it.</p><p>So, yes, we discuss all the important environmental stuff, but this is an epic interview about Paris, the history of fashion, and the birth of cool - with a great many pinch-me stories!</p><p>Outspoken, unafraid, and a true original, Francois Girbaud is fashion pioneer.</p><p><strong>Meet the man who brought denim to Paris in 1964 with his boutique Western House, who dressed Jimi Hendrix, counted Brigitte Bardot as a customer, and wanted to be a cowboy like John Wayne.</strong></p><p>This is a rare chance to hang out with one of the great fashion characters.
