In this solo episode I talk about the toxic effects of fast fashion, particularly the brand SHEIN, a brand that creates a tremendous amount of waste on this planet through its plastic individual packaging, the cheap quality of its fabrics and its lack of transparency. 80 billion garments are bought annually worldwide and the average clothing item is worn only 7 times before it is tossed. Arguably, some of theses SHEIN clothing items are worn less given their shoddy quality.  Do think twice before ordering from them, especially as we get closer to Black Friday.

Born and raised in Montreal, Antoinette Di Carlo was immersed into fashion at a very young age. She learned how to hand stitch at the tender age of eight, and from then on, the rest was history. Her undying passion to create one of a kind works of art only made it a natural inclination to become a designer. Throughout the years she worked in many parts of the field all while traveling the world in search of new trends and inspiration.

With much hard work, determination and her passion for haute-couture dress making, Antoinette perfected the skills it took to set herself apart from everyone else. Making her lifelong dream come to life, she turned her vision of a design couture house into reality. Specializing in custom made bridal and evening wear, Antoinette captures the essence of elegance and femininity that women seek.

Today, Antoinette runs her atelier from the heart of Little Italy, where all her designs come to life. When visiting the atelier, clients will enter the showroom where timelessly brilliant designer gowns are displayed. Having always peaked the interest of Montreal's finest, Antoinette's natural ability to evoke glamour and sophistication continues to capture the eyes of many.
