See the video of him discussing his love-hate relationship with his white lawyers inside, but also keep an eye on our boy’s outfit.

A young fashion designer from Germany has produced the first man-made synthetic fibre entirely without chemicals. And she did it with a staple you can find in your fridge — milk!

The video you are about to see is in one word…brilliant. It chronicles the last 100 years in fashion in 100 seconds.
