Mary Portas explores what style means to us and the way we live today. This week, make do and mend...but make it fashion. 

Mary Portas is joined by Anki Josefsson who started The Assembly Line when she wanted to make her own clothes but couldn't find sewing patterns that suited her scandi-minimalist style. 

And we also hear from Fashion Revolution's Orsola de Castro on how looking after your clothes can be a radical act, the philosophy she outlines in her own book 'Loved Clothes Last.

What does it mean to 'fix' your home? Author, broadcaster and creative consultant Michelle Ogundehin wants us to think about how our homes impact our mental and physical well-being, and thinks we can all make simple design choices that will make us happier. 

Presenter: Mary Portas
Producer: Jessica Treen
