In this episode of Creative Frequency, we’re joined by NYC-based regenerative textile designer, creative director, and mycologist Helena Elston, whose work is redefining the future of fashion through circular design, material innovation, and ecological thinking.
Helena shares her journey, from studying at the Royal College of Art to building a practice that transforms deadstock and waste textiles into wearable pieces infused with life, including living systems like mycelium.
We explore the spiritual and scientific dimensions of working with fungi, the challenges of confronting fast fashion’s disposability, and the patience required to honour regenerative cycles in a world addicted to speed.
From her internationally exhibited collections to collaborations with conscious brands, Helena offers a powerful vision of fashion that not only sustains but restores.
Whether you’re a designer, environmentalist, or curious creator, this conversation invites you to rethink what fashion can be and what it should return to.

Mycelium has the potential to be antibacterial, but the extent and spectrum of this activity vary based on species and conditions. Various studies have shown that certain types of mycelium can produce compounds that inhibit the growth of bacteria.
