Sinéad Burke

Sinéad Burke is an activist for inclusion, who believes fashion and design should include everybody. At 3ft 5in, she is a ‘little person’, as is her father. The eldest of five siblings (all of whom are of average height), she was raised – and continues to live – in Ireland. A lifelong fashion-obsessive, who would ask her parents to buy her the September issue of British and American Vogue for her birthday, she initially worked as a schoolteacher. Indeed, it was a teacher-training assignment to start a blog that gave her a platform to write about her passion for fashion and the freedom to challenge the industry from her own perspective. “Nobody gets to choose what they look like, she says, “but we each choose how we behave.” For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

Om Podcasten

Pieces of Me is a podcast series from PORTER in which Incredible Women – from Tracee Ellis Ross, Halima Aden and Sam Taylor Johnson to Zainab Salbi – tell their stories through the clothing that they wore at defining moments of their lives. Each week a different inspiring woman takes us “behind the seams” of her extraordinary life. Pieces of Me reminds us that clothes are never just clothes and that the meanings woven through them – about beauty, power, identity, freedom and fashion as a force for change – are the stories of women’s lives.
