Welcome back return listeners and everyone new to the Eco Fashion podcast at VCU! In today’s episode, our Host, Alex M. and Co-host, Natalie B., introduce themselves and what brought them to the Eco Fashion Club. Natalie talks about her time working in the fashion industry in NYC and what led her back to academia once Covid-19 hit. Alex and Natalie talk about how people are embracing up-cycling, sustainable living, and thrifting. With these behaviors and trends, the fashion industry is at a place where it could take on more substantial sustainable practices and what that would mean for the industry, as a whole.
