About the Episode
We’re taking a quick pit stop on our lifecycle of fashion journey to take you along to our recent in person event in SXSW Austin. For a day, we had the opportunity to meet you and some new faces. We got to share about the podcast, the focus of the latest season, and the drive behind all of this in the first place.
Along the way we met cool people and we asked them if we could interview them. Today you will hear from four individuals with different backgrounds from biomedical engineering, to NFT, to aviation, and social media. We each asked them three questions:
What does sustainable fashion mean to you?
Do you think there are any problems in the clothing industry?
What do you think the future of fashion looks like?
In this episode, you will learn and hear about:
- [1:02] Hear from Alexis
“I think sustainability is really understanding deeply that supply chain and for companies to be transparent about that…. I think it has to be a relationship between the consumer, the brand, and the Earth.”
-[7:40] Hear from Janelle
“Before I purchase something [thinking about] ’What materials were used? How was this made? You know and is there a way that I can buy this same exact thing maybe second hand instead?’”
- [10:20] Hear from Kim
“Social media is accentuating that [promotion of fast fashion] and causing an issue that I feel like is helping with fast fashion and making us even worse with sustainability stuff.”
- [14:00] Hear from Kevin
“I see as the future of fashion… as a changing the culture in fashion around longevity of fashion and keeping clothes for a lot longer with maybe more of an outlook of expressionism and how to combine certain styles and looking at more of like how can combine what you already have or if you do need to buy more making sure its ethically sourced or recycled.”
