In this episode I have a couple of IB survivors with me, Elliott and Marijn, to talk about the state of the fashion industry. The reason why I felt it was important to touch on this subject is due to the controversy surrounding the industry and its sustainability/ethics. I’ve also been into fashion for a few years now, but bringing individuals who are actively engaged in the fashion community made for a stimulating discussion! We touch on the recent evolution of streetwear, how our tastes and style evolve over time, our recent purchases and confronting fast fashion.
