Designing Tomorrow Ep 1 The True Cost of Clothing - A Conversation with Jennifer Droguett

Welcome back to season 2 of LCFs Designing Tomorrow podcast. This season is quite different from the previous one, instead of sharing about entrepreneurship, we will be tapping into the consumer aspect of fashion and sustainability.  We will be educating you all on the large issues which the fashion industry faces and then we will introduce you to some innovative solutions and the choices we can make to shape a better industry.  Today, we’re going to explore one of the most common questions in the world of fashion: What is the true cost of clothing? Why does sustainable fashion cost more? And what are the differences between conventional fashion products and sustainable fashion alternatives? We are also joined by the incredibly talented designer Jennifer Droguett, the founder of the sustainable fashion brand Anciela. Anciela blends Latin heritage with sustainability, creating beautiful pieces that focus on cultural richness and ethical fashion. She has also worked with other well-known clothing brands, is well experienced in both conventional fashion and sustainable fashion. In this episode, we talk about how hard it is to run a sustainable business, how to make conscious decisions and also shared a lot about how to consume in a more sustainable way. In the end, it is all about the planet and the people! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
