MLK on The Boondocks, Black Fashion Representation, & Creating Boundaries with Routines

S1E10 How do you celebrate MLK Day?  Did you do an activity with the family, or did you go to the club?! Whatever floats your boat, I guess lol. In our final episode of Season 1, we dedicated this last episode to Black History Month and what better topic to discuss than fashion! We go over a few Black Fashion Designers from the past and present day, Bri’s personal realization, and Chloe creating a nightly routine for her best self. We’d like to thank everyone who has listened to our first season! We’ll be back and better with Season 2. Follow us on Instagram and TikTok: @thegarmentstudiopod TTYL!

What Are You Really Sustaining?

S1E9 Is sustainability just about fashion — or is it about how we live? In this episode we kick things off with a conversation inspired by a Vogue article discussing friendship. We then explore sustainability in fashion, guided by three thoughtful questions that push us to think bigger. Chloe wraps the episode by sharing her journey toward radically changing her eating habits, tying together what it truly means to sustain friendships, fashion, and ourselves.
